Bartlett-Yancey House July 3rd Cajun Party

Recently Yuanyuan and I, Steven, were driving up to Danville, VA to go to a museum up there that we've been to before. We stopped for lunch just the other side of Yanceyville (population nil, near the VA border) and came across the Bartlett Yancey house. Built in 1821 and named after a guy with two last names. He was a state senator, rich, philanthropic, Yancey County up in the NC mountains is named for him also. However, Yanceyville right there in Caswell County, it turns out, was named after his brother (ouch!). Anyway, we saw that our old pal Mel Melton and his Wicked Mojos were playing at "the pavillion" right out the back door of the house/restaurant. So, we came back on 7/3 with Vikki and these are some pics from that event.
