(Virtual) Ringin’ in an Appalachian New Year

While we missed the opportunity to gather face-to-face, share food, and swap stories, we worked together to make a virtual celebration as warm and down home as we could have. Folks who tuned in (from all over the world!) enjoyed a variety of entertainment and activities throughout our virtual event like bluegrass and old-time music performances from local musicians and vibrant storytelling from our event emcee, Omope Carter Daboiku, on our “main stage” while also enjoying the option of entering a “breakout room” where participants could swap recipes, create a Word Quilt, and/or share a story or poem.
