COVINGTON – The 34th annual Fort Rowdy Gathering was another enjoyable weekend experience for everyone who attended the festival at the Covington Community Park.

This 34th festival was held over the Labor Day Weekend from September 5th to September 7th and had so many things available for all ages to have a good time.

On the west side of the Stillwater River, where a portable footbridge was constructed for people to walk across the river, the Mountainman Encampments were present to provide a depiction of a bustling, small trading village set in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

On the east side of the Stillwater River near the baseball diamonds, there were areas for live music, food vendors, primitive vendors, and kids activities. Throughout the weekend there were 10 events on the stage; Mule Skinner, Berachah Valley, Titus Bowman, Off The Record, Storyteller – Melgin Rowe, Season McSwain, The Corn Drinkers, Tim Hembree – Elvis, New Mountain Heritage, and Steve Lewis. Plus, there were so many vendors providing several options for food and additional items for purchase.

This weekend had ideal weather at the Fort Rowdy Gathering and kids activities made things enjoyable.
