Part three from the Ohio Valley Gathering is a virtual overload of eye and ear candy; little moments and big moments that I captured throughout the weekend. Everything from "Hava Nagila", a jam with Gary Sager on "Clinch Mountain Backstep", the amazing omelette-flipping Chef Gil and "Freebird" played on a banjo! Lots of mountain dulcimers and hammered dulcimers to gawk at as well. See how many faces you recognize!
