Folk Festival
Our annual Folk Festival celebrates the simple life as our guests visit interactive demonstrations and activities from several hundred years past weaved with modern day fun and time with family and friends.  Our dedicated Artisans donate their time, knowledge, and skills to teach our guests the beauty of crafts like vegetable dyes, weaving, gardening, and  much more.  A local Folk singer provides a beautiful, toe tapping music throughout the day.  A time period reenactor brings to life Hernando DeSoto while recruiting guests for impromptu training.  After hours of enjoying the Artisans, lunch is served and then our annual Pinewood Derby.  This year, there will be child winners and an adult winner.  Trophies are given to 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners in the child race.  A 1st place trophy-like-something will be given the 1st place winner of the adult race.
