T-U: Stetson Kennedy, Arlo Guthrie at Southern Exposure Festival March 14

I am very excited to announce a huge special event happening at Alpine Groves Park on Sunday, March 14. The second annual Southern Exposure Music & Heritage Festival will begin at 11:30 a.m. and run until sundown.

This is an event you do not want to miss. My family and I had the best time there last year.

This year's event promises to be even more special, with the Guthrie Family headlining the list of talented musicians slated to play.

The Cultural Events division of St. Johns County is hosting the event with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Stetson Kennedy and Guthrie Foundations.

The festival will feature the best in old-time music, county, bluegrass, folk and blues. The event will unite folk legends Stetson Kennedy, Arlo Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott for what could be their last reunion performance.

The three have played an integral role in the history of folk music, folklore and political activism in this area along with father, friend and mentor Woody Guthrie.

Activities for everyone include story telling, cultural exhibits, a barn dance, antiques, activities for children and Southern cookin'.

So mark your calendars, bring a chair or blanket to sit on and be prepared to have a foot-stompin', finger-lickin' good ' time on the banks of the beautiful St. Johns River.
