Smaller 'Rothbury Homegrown' event proposed to replace canceled 2010 Rothbury music festival

Goodbye Rothbury music festival, hello "Rothbury Homegrown?”

Less than 24 hours after national promoters of the Rothbury music festival announced they were pulling the plug on the 2010 event, Rothbury business leaders are discussing plans to host a scaled-down event his summer.

Rothbury business leaders have contacted the owners of Double JJ Resort — home of the Rothbury festival the past two years — to discuss hosting a smaller festival this summer. McCormick has suggested the festival be called Rothbury Homegrown because the event would be produced locally, without the help of national media giant, Madison House Publicity.
