**THE STORY OF LARKIN LILES — PART 3**
We've introduced you to the backwoodsman of Kinniconick.
Then we shared the fight that changed everything.
But understanding Larkin Liles also means understanding the kind of man people remembered him to be.
**His Word Was His Bond.**
That's the next chapter in the story behind the name of our festival.
We're sharing this history because Larkin Liles isn't simply a name we thought sounded good on a music festival.
This story belongs to this place.
To Kinniconick Creek.
To Lewis County.
And when you come to Riffel's for the festival, you'll be standing in the same part of Kentucky where that story unfolded.
There's more to Larkin Liles than music.
**There's a story here worth remembering.**
