Hello, I was looking through your site, actually I was looking for some info on the old Orange Bowl restaurant, and found myself going through the whole thing. In my reading, I saw where a few people had mentioned the music festival that took place at the speedway back in '72, the Peach Tree Celebration. I was there as a 17 year old kid on the way to the beach for the summer. Anyway, I have a bunch of pictures taken at that time, and also one of the Orange Bowl. I am going to send all of them to you. Feel free to use any or all as you see fit. I have absolutely no idea who any of the people in the pictures are, but maybe someone will recognize themselves, or a friend.
Take Care,
Twig Gravely Roanoke, Va.
(Check out the 13 photos below that Twig sent and see if you recognize anyone. Remember, this Peach Tree Celebration was held at the NC Motor Speedway, which is sadly closed up now. You will find the photo Twig mentioned above of the Orange Bowl Restaurant located in the Ye Olde Scrapbook section of this website.jb.)
