Mountain Fair Woodsplitting and Pie contests arose in the mid/late 70s, full of intrigue and drama and inspiring rabid devotion. Humorous reports on pie and the 2011 Women's Woodsplitting contest, said to be the most entertaining in the Fair's history, will astonish and delight.

Something about the Carbondale Mountain Fair draws out the best from visiting artists. You hear it time and again on the 22 years of Mountain Fair recordings, ranging from Yonder Mountain String Band in 2000 to the Infamous Stringdusters in 2012.

Amy interviews Dave Watts of The Motet. Carley DeBeque and Alta Otto tell us about the pie contest at Mountain Fair. Brian checks in with Kyle and Kelly Phelps about their show at the Carbondale Clay Center. 

Mountain Fair has been growing and changed a lot throughout the years, I suppose we all have to Grow Up some time.
