Long ago, families would gather to give thanks and celebrate harvest season with a day of feasting, games, music, and fun. Now the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission brings this tradition back by hosting the 8th Annual Harvest Fest Saturday, November 7 at Mullet Hall Equestrian Center in John’s Island County Park.
Come on down from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and lend your ears to foot-stompin’, live blue-grass music from five local bluegrass bands. There is plenty of fun things to do for the whole family from hay rides, a stick pony corral, pumpkin decorating, penny diving, lasso demonstrations, and scarecrow making contests. Feast on finger-lickin’ Carolina barbeque, turkey legs, roasted corn on the cob, kettle korn, and creamy stone-ground grits.
Admission is $5 per person. Kids 12 and under and Annual Gold Pass holders are admitted free. For more information, please call 795-4FUN or visit www.ccprc.com.
Weavers Judith Krone, Kay Guilment, Christine Stanton, Janet Bealer, Lynn Pollard, Dianne Totten and Ann Doherty will exhibit fiber arts that represent their personal styles and creative stories. They are fascinated by gorgeous color; complex weaving structures; the elegant simplicity of design and the challenge of creating and weaving fabric. These talented weavers create one-of-a-kind creations that demonstrate their dedication and exploration of their craft.
