These festival visitors and campers knew how to keep cool during the hot weekend of the Red Clay Bluegrass Festival by relaxing in the shade under their camping trailer.  The ninth annual Red Clay Bluegrass Festival held in Tignish took place on Aug 14-16.  Good friends Joy and Dave Murray of St Edwards and Dally Thibodeau of St Edwards like to attend this festival and camp there amongst the many other campers every year, and were trailer neighbors on the festival site.  They were joined by the company of George Grant of Guysborough NS, who was a musician at the Red Clay Bluegrass Festival a few years back of the band “Second Wind”, who played an Open Mic segment over the weekend.
