  • One reel to reel recording. Boltin served as emcee. The Collins (in their first festival performance) were from Eustis. They sang with their children: Rose, Hurbert, Ronnie, Yolanda, and Crystal. Dekle demonstrated whip cracking. Lazonby, a lawyer, was from Hawthorne. The Bucksnort Barndance Band played clogging music for the Cross Creek Cloggers -- both from Gainesville. Slavin, from Miami Beach, played old time music at his festival.
