Abstract:
The Brown-Hudson Folklore Award was established in 1970, and Dorothea and Janette Moser are the first folklorists who come from two generations of the same family to receive the award. Their father, Artus Moser, received the award in 1972. Like their father, the daughters went to college, taught college courses about the Appalachian traditions, and collected, preserved, and performed the material of their Appalachian heritage.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Folklore Society's Community Traditions Award is given to organizations and individuals that make valuable contributions to the state's folk life. The first award was given in 1992. The 2006 Award was presented to Mrs. Nelia Hyatt of Asheville, who has hosted a traditional music jam on her property for more than fifty years. The jam, which is held every Thursday night year-round, features bluegrass, old time, and early country music. Her husband, a talented musician and instrument maker, started the gathering. After his death, she continued it. What is remarkable is that Mrs. Hyatt is not a musician, but continues the tradition because of her love of the music and the people who perform it.

Abstract:
Through an analysis of the ways South Georgia turpentiners use the past and tradition to actively express feelings in the present, the author demonstrates how rhetoric is employed in folk expression to both combat exoteric forces and express variable interpretations of the past and reveal in-group factionalism with concern to memory.
