TERRA ALTA — Alpine Lake Resort, a four-season, multi-amenity resort in the mountains of Preston County, will host its annual Music Fest at 11 a.m. Aug. 21 on the resort grounds. This year’s events and related festivities will be special, as the resort celebrates its 50th anniversary.
The event will be near the shores of the resort’s 150-acre lake and its 18-hole golf course, with attendees able to take in the mountain and lake views while they listen to five bands. There will also be food, refreshments, regional vendors and activities available.
The first act, local singer, songwriter and performer Ronnie Burroughs will take the stage at 11 a.m. and share the music that made him a favorite among regional music lovers. Then at 12:15 p.m. is regional artist Paul Burger, a local musician who has appeared at numerous venues since 1982.
Next up at 1:30 p.m. will be The Hillbilly Gypsies, performing the group’s brand of bluegrass and old-time music. The band has played many major bluegrass festival events across the country and has won numerous accolades and awards. The Travis Minnick Band will follow at 3:45 p.m. With deep roots in the area, this band offers its take on country music, one that has been rewarded with a recording contract.
Taking the stage at 5:45 p.m., Train Wreck, a Morgantown cover band, will perform rock and roll dating back to the 70s, with a mix of country added.
