The Dutchman Community Center ties folks to musical tradition

Tuning up in the back yard

The Saturday night bluegrass, gospel and country music show is now a tradition in the Dutchman community of Ritchie County, near the confluence of Ritchie, Wirt and Calhoun counties at Brohard.

The community building is a welcome spot along the rural road, not far from State Route 47.

The evening's entertainment is always free.

Musicians sign up at 5:30 p.m. with the show beginning at 6 p.m.
