Interesting. I grew up and have returned to Surry County, NC. We
have gone to the sonker fest for the past 3 years. It is sponsored by
the county historical society for the preservation of the 200 year old
house. They have almost all varieties of sonker.

They have a "pick up" band that plays on the porch.

If you are in the area the first Saturday in October, join the fun and
good sonkers.

Here is a link to some pictures.
