Concurrent hikes on the School's campus will follow an early morning bird foray on Saturday and continue after lunch at Lilley Cornett Woods, an old growth forest, and on the crest of Pine Mountain along the Little Shepherd Trail. Saturday night's entertainment, the Alice Lloyd College choir from Pippa Passes Kentucky, is a featured event of the PMSS Centennial Celebration. The Voices of Appalachia will perform Sacred Harp music, the hymns and ballads of the southern Appalachian highlands, in the School's Chapel.
