The Fruit Jar Pickers – Every Sunday Morning!
Journey to Rough and Ready on any Sunday between 10am and noon and hear the infamous Rough and Ready Fruit Jar Pickers. The band’s location is the Grange, located across the road from the Market in downtown Rough and Ready. The band performs sing-alongs and down-home parodies of old standards, country, bluegrass and gospel songs. Performances are free, people are super friendly, and it’s lots of fun. Anyone can bring an instrument and play along.
