September 7th Homeplace Festival Day of Family Fun

Vendors and Exhibitors at HGR Fall Heritage Festival

By George Kolbenschlag

It looks like the weather will be great for this coming Saturday's Fall Heritage Festival at Homeplace on Green River. Many of the arts and crafts vendors, exhibitors, rides and food vendors who have been at the festival in prior years will be joined this year by new activities.

The day-long (9amCT/10amET-4pmCT/5pmET) program will include arts and crafts vendors and demonstrations/exhibits of all sorts of activities common in earlier days. Included will be a petting zoo, a hay maze, barrel train, butter-making and hands-on pottery making, all for youngsters, and hayrides for all. Other activities include Native American Culture exhibits, Somerset's Liberty Nature Center and their amazing birds, including hawks, falcons, owls, vultures and other raptors and bee keepers, sorghum demonstration and a blacksmith.

There will be information on hemp farming, genealogy, and the American Chestnut project at Homeplace. And when you tire out, you can sit and watch live music in the show barn while eating a variety of good eats from the food vendors. Then you can work-off the good food taking a hike on the almost five miles of newly groomed walking trails at Homeplace and the adjacent Tebbs Bend Wildlife area.



The list goes on and is still building. Kentucky arts and crafts vendors include Jennifer Beams and her Peaceful Place Candles; Rebecca Cavens, Usborne Books and More; D&D Designs, water-marbled silk scarves; Diana Roution, crocheted animal and decorate crafts; Alice Smith, Alisa's Attic; Bonnie Stanbery, crocheted items and American Indian jewelry and more.

All in all there will be more that 50 activities, vendors and exhibitors at the festival.

The live music in the Homeplace show barn, it continues this year including Maggie Coleman, Stephany Archey and friends singing familiar show tunes; The Foster Children, and Renetta and Friends.

The only charge for the festival is $10 per vehicle parking and anything spent for food and purchases from the artists and crafters. All other activities are free.

Homeplace is located between Campbellsville and Columbia about one-half mile from the Green River/Highway 55 bridge at 5807 New Columbia Road (Highway 55), Campbellsville. Additional current information on the festival and other activities at Homeplace on Green River is available at www.homeplacefarmky.org or on Facebook at Homeplace on Green River Kentucky.
