Annual Bluegrass & BBQ Fundraiser
On the fourth Saturday of June, big crowds come to Pine Mountain Community Center for the Annual Bluegrass & BBQ Fundraiser. Visit Bluegrass Jamboree on Facebook for the bands that will perform and other news. BBQ sales fund PMCC.
history
The BBQ fundraiser began in the 1980s. Lifelong Pine Mountain resident Telitha remembers that each year around the 4th of July, the community enjoyed BBQ meals while the youth played T-ball games against teams from Oneonta and Nectar on the original baseball field (bordering Pine Mountain Road). Funds supported the Fire Department and the Community Center. See the History section on Bluegrass Jamboree for history of bluegrass on the mountain and the joining with the BBQ fundraiser.
