The Beavers Bend Folk Festival & Craft Show, held the second weekend in November, is a showcase for turn-of-the-century arts and crafts. Almost 70 exhibitors and vendors will feature crafts and skills like candlemaking, woodturning, lye soap making, knife making and quilting. A mule logging demonstration will educate visitors about the old-time techniques of mule logging. The courtyard of the Forest Heritage Center is a haven for the children. Storytellers spin their yarns; a petting zoo offers up-close and personal encounters with furry critters. The children's activity area will offer kids the opportunity to create a puppet show with their imagination and their own handmade paper puppets. The twang of banjos, the wail of the fiddles and the ring of the dulcimer strings accompany all this. Four of the country's best folk musicians will be featured on an outdoor stage throughout the three-day festival. Free Mountain Dulcimer workshops offered each day in the courtyard.
This festival is a food-lovers paradise!
