The Benfield boys, Shane & George Benfield always had a love for picking and for finding antiques. It was an adventurous journey that they did as father\/son to pass the time, one that solidified their relationship and admiration for one another.\u00a0 It was this bond that paved the way for the creation of the festival.<\/p>\n
The Benfield boys along with Jeff Lemmond and Jimmy Brown partnered up to create a fantastic event that everyone enjoys. It was a joint collaboration that has passed the test of time. Each year it evolves and becomes greater and greater, as the bonds become stronger.<\/p>\n
The Carolina Pickers Festival was an idea that took off from the very first show. Its success has made it what it has become today, a wonderful place where people can buy, sell or barter their antiques. Where families can enjoy a weekend of good old-time values, great music, and memories long gone. Where stories are exchanged freely and where smiles manifest into good times.<\/p>\n
To put it simply into words, it is a story of good friends who dreamed big dreams and were not afraid to chase after them.<\/p>\n
