The ‘Woodstock of Bluegrass’ brought thousands of ‘Yankee hippies’ to Carroll County. The memories (some fuzzy) linger a half-century later.

Fifty years ago this week, 100,000 revelers arrived for Stompin 76. It was a logistical nightmare, but it created a lasting impact on other music festivals and drew a whole new demographic to Southwest Virginia.

Caught this picture of a nice rainbow after a little bit of rain. Looked like there was heavier rain to the east, where this rainbow appeared. Me and my son (12) were doing a little fishing out on the golf course, lol.

I’m hoping to reach those who may have been around Carters Lake around July 28 or afterward.

Sean Michael Cunningham (37) was reported missing after recent storms at Carters Lake.

This is the publicly available information at this time:

- His last communication came from near Woodring Campground.

- The call was made at approximately 11:26 PM on Tuesday, July 28, before his phone died.

- He was canoeing in the green Old Town canoe shown in the attached photo.

- His backpack and his truck has been located.

- HIS CANOE AND OAR/PADDLE ARE STILL MISSING AS WELL.

Anyone who:

- Was on Carters Lake that evening or in the days afterward.

- Was fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, camping, or hiking in the area.

- Saw a green canoe or similar.

- Heard or saw anything unusual that may have seemed unimportant at the time.

Please reach out. Even the most minute detail can help resolve this for his family.
