On Saturday, September 22, 2001, there will be a benefit concert for the Shaver's Fork Riyer Coalition held at the Spelunker's Camp in East Dailey, West Virginia.

Headlining this First Annual Elkhenge Music Festival will be Juggling Suns, a New Jersey based jam band inspired by the late Jerry Garcia. Also performing will be Montaneros, a well known area Salsa dance band and Axis, a driving blues group featuring Richard Smith.

Food concessions will be offered by Smokin Joe's Smokehouse of Elkins, specializing in authentic Jerk Chicken. Vendors offering a variety of handmade crafts will also be on hand.

The BYOB event also encourages overnight camping, and will be held rain or shine. Gates will open at 2 PM for whiffle ball/volleyball etc, with music slated for 5 PM -12 midnight.

Dogs will not be permitted on the festival grounds. A $5 cover charge will go directly to the River Coalition.
