It’s that time of year again-planning for the Piney Woods Heritage Festival! This year the 10th annual event will be held Friday and Saturday November 16 and 17, 2012.
Friday runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is a “School Day”.
Saturday runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is our “Public Day”.
This family-friendly, education event will celebrate the early days of the Piney Woods in this 10th annual festival with exhibits and demonstrations of traditional skills such as blacksmithing, quilting, spinning, basket-making, and more.
Friday open to preregistered school groups, $2 per child; free to teachers/chaperones, and bus drivers.
Saturday admission adults $5, children $2.
