Cut the Rug Returns to the Concert Floor!

After its debut at last year’s concert, the Cut the Rug Challenge is back by popular demand at the 2025 Jones County Heritage Festival—and we’re turning up the fun even more with The Embers ft. Craig Woolard & Zack Lee Music!

Launched for the first time in 2024, last year’s challenge brought energy, laughter, and serious dance moves to the Friday night concert. Two couples took home a trophy and set the bar high with their creativity and crowd-pleasing performances: Watch us award the winners on our Facebook

This year, we’re continuing the tradition and once again crowning two winners—so grab your dancing shoes and bring your best moves to the festival stage!

“This started as something fun and simple, but the crowd loved it,” says one Committee Member. “It’s become a highlight of the night, and we’re excited to see who takes the spotlight this year!”
