HGR Fall Heritage Family Festival is Sat 8 Sept 2018

(Sponsored)

The HGR Fall Heritage Family Festival kicks off tomorrow at 8amCT/9amET. Many of the most popular activities from previous years will be returning, and there will be lots of new artists and crafters, exhibitors and food vendors. Homeplace is located at 5807 New Columbia Road, Campbellsville, KY, about halfway between Columbia and Campbellsville.

The Festival is a family event, and lots to do for the young--and those who wish they were young--including hay rides, a barrel train, and a barn-sized hay maze.

Food vendors will be selling pulled pork, tenderloin, catfish, hot dogs, barbeque and rib-eye sandwiches. There will be snow cones, lemonade, Mayfield ice cream and plenty of other things to eat.

The only charge will be a $10 per vehicle parking fee and anything spent for food and purchases from the artists and crafters. All other activities are free. The festival will be on-going from 8amCT/9amET until 4pmCT/5pmET.



Headlining the new activities this year will be Kay Gschwind and Ben Burgess with their Suffolk Punch draft horses, demonstrating how logging was accomplished prior to tractors and log skidders. They will also be educating and informing festival-goers about sustainable forestry and logging practices.

Also included will be Somerset's Liberty Nature Center with their raptors including hawks, falcons and Allegiant the bald eagle. There will be butter making, colonial reenactors, a petting farm with exotic animals, flint knapper, wood carvers, blacksmith, the Alpacas from Barnett's Creek Farm and many other activities.

Two new music groups, students from the Burkesville Academy of Fine Arts, and the Unity of Praise Youth Choir from Taylor County's Pleasant Union Baptist Church will be part of the all-day live music show in the barn. They will join The Exie Boys, frequent performers of bluegrass and CW at Homeplace Festivals, and Renetta and Friends, who performed a variety of music at both the spring and fall festivals last year. Both groups drew large crowds of listeners.

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 information about Homeplace is available at www.homeplacefarmky.org or on Facebook at Homeplace on Green River Kentucky.

Homeplace on Green River is going for its third 2018-win on September 8 with its Fall Heritage Family Festival. Coming off a record attendance plow day/spring festival and a very successful inaugural year of theater and music productions in the newly renovated bank barn, the historic farm expects to better its 2017 fall festival record attendance.
