Abstract:
Founded in 1982 by Marilyn Meacham Price, the Charlotte Folk Society keeps traditional music, dance, crafts, and lore alive for future generations. The group entertains and educates local residents through free concerts, public jam sessions, and educational programs for young and old. The society feels that if the young do not learn about and embrace the folk traditions, these traditions will not survive; therefore, youth education is seen as a prime responsibility of the organization.
