Description
Spencer Graham and Kathy Graham recount their experiences with camp meetings in Catawba County, North Carolina, and the meetings' 200-year long history in the region. The Grahams discuss how camp meetings, which take place in the summer, are considered "holy land" by the participants and a time to reflect and communicate with God. They talk about the types of vendors, such as ice cream stands, that come to the camp meetings, and how the camp meetings strengthen the community through common ground. The Grahams also express concern about the camp meetings continuing for future generations.
