 The Mountain Girl Experience is returning to downtown Pikeville July 22nd and 23rd. The festival will feature live music, art galleries, artists and vendors, workshops and much more. At the Mountain Girl Experience some of our big events are a lot of live music. We'll have bands essentially on three different stages throughout the two-day event. So live music, lots of workshops for adults and kids of all ages to learn to play musical instruments. We'll have storytellers, poetry writing, that sort of thing, dance, learn to buck dance. We will have a square dance in the evening and then we have an art gallery. So a lot of local artists will be displaying their work and you can just walk through the theater and see that as well. We are Pikeville Medical Center and we are an amazing place to work. Healthcare heroes of all types work here. All who deserve great rewards.

The Mountain Girl Experience is a female lead festival and fundraiser celebrating the creativity and resilience of women in Appalachia. Proceeds from the festival will go to the Perry Klein Emergency Shelter and Turning Point Domestic Violence Shelter. The Mountain Girl Experience is organized and put together by a group of women here in the area and I like to think that we are Appalachian women helping Appalachian women because we did want this to be a cause that gives back. So proceeds from this event benefit the Perry Klein West Care Emergency Shelter here in Pikeville as well as the Turning Point Domestic Violence Services that is in Floyd County but also takes care of Pikeville as well. So you know during the pandemic especially we know that there's been statistically an increase in domestic violence particularly and so we wanted to target some of our efforts toward that this year. We want this to be an event that gives back where we are celebrating the artistry and creativity and talent of Appalachian women and we want to be able to give back to other Appalachian women.
