Rain, cold and winds this weekend may have taken away from vendor profits and kept the normally huge crowds at bay, but the 50th annual Mountain Moonshine Festival trucked along anyway. The parade, normally marking the beginning of the festivities at 9 a.m. Saturday, was pushed back due to wet roads and held instead at 9 a.m. on Sunday.
