Homeplace on Green River festival wrap-up - 23 Apr 2018 Record breaking crowd on a perfect spring day, when everything happened with capacity results Click on headline for story and big photo album By George Kolbenschlag There were lots of "whoas," "gees" and "haws" at the Homeplace on Green River at Saturday's (April 21, 2018) plow day/spring festival. "Whoa, look at that," "Gee, I've never seen one of those before," and "Haw! See I told you the kids would have a ball here." And, of course, as occasional commands for the 15 horse and mule plow teams, too. A record crowd of about 2,500 people enjoyed the fine weather and many activities at the plow day/festival. The previous record, an estimated 2,000, was set at last September's Fall Heritage Festival. It's difficult to determine an exact count because people are constantly coming and going all day. There were about 800 cars and the parking areas were full. There were also about 30 antique tractors thanks to of Eddie Cowherd and Wayne Livesay, who organized the tractor show. The late Lewis Garrison started the tractor show at his farm and moved it to Homeplace several years ago. Attendance was dwindling, and Eddie and Wayne agreed to revive it. They were very successful, and the tractor show was and will continue to be in memory of Lewis Garrison. There were 36 arts and crafts vendors, exhibitors, and demonstrators and eight food vendors. The pony rides, barrel train and hay rides were filled all day. He food vendors had little rest and the newly renovated barn where there was continual live music was crowded most of the day.
