Where's The Cow Cove?
Some folks have written to ask, "Where's The Cow Cove??," and if you aren't familiar with the name, it's because you're new to The River or because you've just never seen Bessie. Now, Bessie has a long and illustrious career here on The Waters of Wylie. She's known for many antics, including her recent holiday appearance and headline news. But mostly she's known to overlook a back portion of Boyd's Cove sitting patiently while the rest of us act the fool. Don't know her? Maybe you know her two sidekicks, Jake and Elwood, The Blues Brothers, who sit on the dock at Bessie's place. In any event, ... Bessie and the boys and Lake Wylie Music Fest can be found as indicated on this map:

(As you know, the Fest is completely volunteer created, run, and performed. No one gets paid. We do, however have some small expenses that don't otherwise get covered to support the performer and crew's time here (meals, porta-poddy rental, incidentals), and these products help differ costs as needed. Someday we hope to be able to provide some small stipend to performers and crew to at least pay for travel costs if not more. Till then, we appreciate all your support thru the sale of wristbands and shirts as well as any material and volunteer contributions!)

BIG THANKS to Matt Hutto and his big strong crew from Sunbelt Rentals for getting our stage set up again this year! The scaffolding-built stage they provide for us has been a big hit with all involved. Look for it in The Cow Cove in the next week or so ... until then, you'll see the Music Fest banner reminding you where to come.

Many MANY thanks to the "Fun in the Cow Cove Committee," to all volunteers helping from start to finish, and to the following materials and financial sponsors:
Lake Wylie Music Fest ...
is a completely volunteer-driven not-for-profit community effort started by an individual lake resident who pulled together musicians, sponsors, equipment, website, e-news, stage and support production, and many, many, many details that can't be remembered.
If one person can do all of this, what can a whole team do?!!!!
