Campaign to Save Mrs. Hyatt’s Music House
For more than 60 years Neila Hyatt has been hosting bluegrass music in her Asheville home, known by many as Mrs. Hyatt’s Music House. Over the years, bluegrass legends and novice players alike gathered together for weekly jams in this warm and friendly setting.
Recent events have threatened the very existence of this treasured landmark. The Music House must either be moved or demolished. $200,000 is now needed to relocate the Music House to another property in Asheville.
A fundraiser will be held February 10 at the VFW Club on Leciester Highway from 2 to 7 p.m. The event will feature a day of music and a Chili Cornbread Cook-off.
Admission is $10 per person. Children and cook-off contestants admitted free of charge. For more details call (828) 633-1136.
