2008 Gardner Winter Music Festival

The 30th GWMF was held in Morgantown the weekend of Feb. 22-23, 2008.

The festival showcased traditional Appalachian acoustic music performed by musicians from West Virginia and surrounding states. The late Worley Gardner started this festival 30 years ago and his late wife Margaret Gardner continued it after he left us. At this festival we tried to emphasize 30 years of Worley's music and other activities the Gardners enjoyed.
