Our first wedding put the Mason jars in the trees... and we loved them.
The wedding couple left them to be enjoyed by our future couples. 
Bring the candles... and we'll be happy put them up for you.

We host music concerts, weddings, music workshops, 
community events, benefits,
and have had a morning radio show live from the Pick Inn.
Hosted by Jesse and Harv Mason, one of the greatest voices in radio.
"The Pick Inn Party Radio Show" is currently on vacation, but we plan to be back on the air.
We'll keep you posted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may wonder (and some folks ask) why did we name it the "Pick Inn"?
 Because in the world of bluegrass music, the musicians are called "pickers". 
Hence, you could be a mandolin picker (like Jesse), a guitar picker, or a banjo picker.

Fiddlers are not pickers. Neither are bass players. Don't ask me why.  
But we welcome both pickers and grinners (that's those of us who listen and clap). \o/

"The Pick Inn" is named in honor of Jesse as a master musician and "picker"
and also to honor all the unsung hero pickers out there.

Jesse won this award (our nation's highest honor in the arts) in 1997

And for our wedding couples, we like to think it stands for picking the love of your life.
