Across the nation, family farms and ranches are disappearing at an alarming rate. The contributions of Elbert County’s farming and ranching families have withstood the pressures of growth, changes in farming methods, storms and drought, and economic conditions to preserve these important pieces of our state and county’s history. Join us as we recognize these amazing families who are preserving our heritage!

Entertainment


FRESH APPLES' toe-tapping feel good music features Doc Rolland & Meryl Brown's tight vocal harmonies and stellar fiddle and guitar playing. FRESH APPLES performs an eclectic mix of originals and fresh arrangements of traditional folk & country, bluegrass, humorous, and old-time music. Doc and Meryl's playful synergy, good old-fashioned humor, lively audience participation and just plain having fun make each FRESH APPLES performance special.

Doc Rolland (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, guitar) celebrates over 50 years as a professional performer and fiddle teacher. He’s a 3-time Certified Division National Fiddle Champion and an Arizona State Fiddle Champion, and for years he ran Rolland Fiddle Camp in Colorado. Nine international tours and several hundred fiddling-trainees make it hard for Doc to escape being called an Arizona fiddle legend.

Meryl Brown (vocals, guitar, mandolin) adds powerful vocals that are a highlight of the FRESH APPLES sound. With her roots in country and folk with a little bit of old rock and blues, she can belt it out or soften it up. She offers some free-spirit twists on FRESH APPLES’ song arrangements. Meryl is an avid songwriter as well.
