Jammin' at the Mill Pond Jammed Full of Fun

There was something for everyone at Haywood Community College’s Jammin’ at the Mill Pond this past weekend. From great mountain music and dance to the best catfish and barbeque around, a good time was had by all. HCC students, faculty, and staff demonstrated what is being taught on campus as well as some mountain heritage traditions worth preserving.
