The Nelson County Marching Governors were the opening "act" at the 2023 Freedom Fest held at Stoney Creek Resort and Campground in Greenville, VA, on Saturday, September 9. After the band marched through the campground, they performed show music, patriotic music, and the Star Spangled Banner. Then, they had some free time at the festival!
