In This Together - Hickory Fest 2020
Even though we can't be together doesn't mean we can’t all come together online in honor of Sue Cunningham to raise awareness and support the music scholarships which were created in her honor.
Join us Friday, Saturday and Sunday online for a special presentation of music each day.
On Friday at 7pm we will go all the way back to Hickory Fest 2003 for an amazing set of music from the Hickory Fest Archives by Sue and the Hickory Project... you will not want to miss this nostalgic look back to what started it all and grew into the Hickory Fest we know and love today.
Saturday at 7pm we will have a special set of music from our dear friend, and Little Hickory Productions, Inc. board member, Verlon Thompson. This is sure to be a special evening of music!
On Sunday, please tune in at 3pm for what will be a very special presentation, with more details to be announced shortly.
These special performances will be available to view on the Hickory Fest FaceBook page as well as here at at LittleHickory.org.
Since Sue's passing in 2015 we have continued the festival, which she co-created, and it is now the main fundraiser that supports the numerous music scholarships established in her name in both Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as continuing to provide support to the Tioga County Relay for Life, and several other organizations related to Cancer care and research.
In 2019 we became a Not for Profit organization in order to better raise funds and support these various projects which include the newly formed Sue Cunningham Endowed Music Scholarship at Mansfield University in Mansfield, PA.
With all that has transpired over the past months with a Global Pandemic, and out of an abundance of caution, we made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s in-person Hickory Fest which would have been held August 14-16, 2020 until to August of 2021. In doing this we not only postponed a beautiful weekend of music, but we were forced to eliminate our main vehicle to raise the funds needed to support the causes we have committed to.
Our main goal this coming weekend is to not only honor Sue but to also raise awareness of the many things we have been doing in her honor, as well as raise funds to help support the scholarships we are continuing to award.
We are extremely grateful to those who were kind enough to donate what they had paid for their 2020 Hickory Fest tickets rather than request a refund. And also our tremendous gratitude to Sue's MIT class of 2000 who made a very generous donation to the Endowment at Mansfield University in Sue's name.
We thank all of those who have given their support over the years and encourage you to make a donation of any size.
