Debut Concert Pushes Barns Construction to the Wire

With only fifteen days to go before the Barns of Rose Hill officially opens, project manager Stan Kerns brushes aside any concern that work crews may not finish in time.

“There will be a team working this weekend and I’m not worried about being ready to open” Kerns calmly says. “I’m sure that there will be a few punch list items that will still have to be taken care of but we’ll be ready for the public.”

The First Barns Blues Bash featuring The Millwood Blues Week All Stars: Danny Knicely, Scott Ainslie, Ralph Gordon, Danny Gotham, and Rob Soper will be held Friday July 15 at 7:00 pm in the Great Hall. As of Thursday afternoon work crews were busy preparing the debut event both inside and outside of Clarke County’s soon-to-be art center.

Inside, crews were busy laying tongue-and-groove flooring and installing original weathered barn board paneling on inside walls. The contrast between the light-colored finished  flooring and the deep toned weathered barn siding provided a strikingly elegant contrast between old and new.

“This new flooring was a  work order change but it was the best money that the Board of Directors spent” Kerns said while pointing out the many fine touches that visitors will be able to admire when the facility opens. “Together with the reused barn siding it just looks really great!”

Kerns also directed a visitor’s attention to several rooms that will be available for meetings and other functions, including catered events.

“This area will have a sink and water so that food can be easily served to guests” Kerns said describing a ground floor meeting space. “Over here on this wall we will have a mural depicting scenes of Clarke County life.” Upstairs, Kern pointed out a  meeting space with large, southward facing double windows. Nearby, the building’s flagship feature, its Great Hall, will accommodate approximately 170 people and will include a sound booth and a movable stage.

While saws and hammers could be heard inside the Barns of Rose Hill, masons working outside were busy arranging over 600 personalized bricks to create a walkway leading to the building’s entrance.

“These bricks are the culmination of a large campaign to raise money for the project” Kerns said. “I think that as people see how nice the bricks look they will continue to purchase additional bricks.
