Trae Buckner tunes his guitar before playing old-time bluegrass and mountain music with his band, the Hillbilly Gypsies, at the Lucketts Fair last weekend. At the Lucketts Fair, Neha Elaprolu, 7, came face to face with a unicorn — well, actually Bubba, a 17-year-old paint horse from Stone Mountain Farm. “It started out as a country fair, and it’s gone more commercial,” said lifelong Lucketts resident Joyce Webb, who helped launch the fair almost 45 years ago. It may not be limited to bluegrass music, which has been a mainstay of the community center and the fair for decades, she said. The county eventually reclaimed the building as part of a program to convert old school buildings into community centers, and it reopened as the Lucketts Community Center in 1981.
