Carolina in the Fall Festival
North Wilkesboro, North Carolina
Finecases.com provides modest support to the Carolina in the Fall Festival. The festival is held at the farm of Robert and Brenda Shepherd, lifelong residents of Wilkes County, North Carolina. The festival borrows its name from the song Carolina in the Fall written and performed by The Kruger Brothers. The lyrics to the song allude to the hospitality shown by the Shepherd Family as they welcomed The Kruger Brothers and their friends and family while they have performed and visited in the United States. The relationship between the Krugers and the Shepherds began in 1997 and has inspired many trips to Switzerland and North Carolina. Jens Kruger and his family, Uwe Kruger, and Joel Landsberg are all now residents of North Carolina and have made their homes in Wilkes County and serve as musical hosts.
