Fall is festival season here in Kentucky. My husband and I love to go to festivals during the fall to admire all the different artisans with the goods they have created. We seem to have an abundance of talented people here in Kentucky and the festival season is when you can see all their handiwork from the past year. This weekend, we have to choose between three of our favorites but it seems like Berea Spoonbread will probably win out over the others.
These festivals not only contain handmade crafts but local music of all varieties. It is so relaxing to sit and listen to people sing and play music. We go to spend the day when we go. We walk around the different booths, maybe try a food treat or two and then sit to listen to the music. Going to local festivals is a great way to support local artisans. I pick up quite a few Christmas and birthday presents during these events. I am supporting someone local plus buying something special for the one I love.
I would encourage you to take some time this fall and enjoy the variety of local festivals. A good place to look is your local paper. If you live here in Kentucky, Google KY festivals and you can get a list of upcoming ones. Festivals can be an inexpensive form of entertainment. Spend some time admiring the craftsmanship of the articles exhibited, listen to some great music and maybe knock out some of your Christmas list while you are there.
