The Granite Quarry Civitan Fiddlers' Convention has been our major fund-raising project for over 35 years. From a small beginning at the Granite Quarry Elementary School Auditorium, the event has grown to utilize the entire campus of East Rowan High School. In addition to the fantastic bluegrass music, the club also serves up its famous barbeque chicken. The convention is held on the first Saturday in October and well over 1000 people will attend the evening event. Many of the best bluegrass and old-time music bands in the Carolinas and Virginia are contestants. The Granite Quarry Fiddlers' Convention has been compared to conventions at Union Grove and Southside Virginia. Tickets to the event are typically available in mid-August from any club member.
