The band, “Leed Not Follow” performed, as did dancers from Studio 66. Other musicians performing included G.W. Stacy, Will Hoffman, Brandon Burgess and Rickey Plumley. Phillip Boyd, a youth pastor from Stony Hill Baptist Church, spoke to the crowd. The featured speaker for the evening was Asheville’s Phillip Cooper. A number of people from Asheville also made the two-hour trip to hear him speak. “People really listened” to Boyd and Cooper, Lyall said. In addition, recovering people from Wilkes County told the crowd about their journeys from active addiction to recovery.
