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!”

On Friday, September 27th, we celebrated our Heritage Festival concert at the vibrant Jones County Civic Center (832 NC Hwy 58 S, Trenton, NC 28585). The evening featured the incredible Band of Oz, with fantastic opening performances by the talented Patrick Bliss and the promising young musician Michael Schott.

Around 300 attendees gathered for an unforgettable night filled with delightful music, tasty concessions, and lively dancing. The concert kicked off with Michael Schott’s energetic set, followed by the captivating sounds of Patrick Bliss, setting the stage perfectly for our headliners, the Band of Oz, who brought the house down with their unforgettable performance. 

Amidst the fun, a couple of our enthusiastic committee members took to the dance floor, on the lookout for the couples who were really cutting loose. Two lucky couples were recognized for their fantastic moves and awarded our coveted Cut The Rug trophies, adding an extra layer of excitement to the evening.

The concert was a wonderful opportunity for the Jones County community to come together, relax, and get in the spirit for Saturday's festival. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
