Folks browsed through the many venues at the Blooming Arts Festival. Beautiful weather was on hand throughout the weekend. Many things were happenin' during the 20th Anniversary of the Blooming Arts Festival. Entertainment, crafts for the kids, demonstrating artists selling their wares, children's performances, and food were served up all weekend long. The Fred Ingold Music Festival is supported by the Union County Community Arts Council through a grant.
Elementary children enjoy a day learning our heritage through a variety of music and stories.
