Dillsboro's Heritage Festival will feature a variety of new entertainment and will focus on artisans starting at 10 a.m. this Saturday, June 9.
Front Street will be lined with artisans demonstrating their crafts of stained glass, oils and acrylics, jewelry-making, soap making, pottery, leatherworks, wood carving, quilting and basketweaving. Meanwhile, food vendors, ready to serve every palette, will dominate Church Street. New entertainment this year for children includes a petting zoo, pony rides, clowns and face painting. Musical entertainment begins at 10 a.m. on the Dillsboro Heritage Festival Stage with the husband-and-wife duo of Kelly and Kelly Timco. Scott Burns will follow from 10:30 a.m. until 11 a.m., to be followed by the Balsam Mountain Boys at noon. Mark Cribbs takes the stage from noon until 12:30 p.m. when the Fiddling Dills Sisters and the Cullowhee Mountain Boys perform the next hour. From 1 to 2 p.m. Tina Evans and Krista Hunsuck show their talent, followed by the Cope Creek Gang from 2 to 3 p.m. Then it's Deep Holler Kin from 3 to 4 p.m., with the wrap-up hour by Miranda Singleton from 4 to 5 p.m. Continuing with the heritage theme, later that evening, storyteller Gary Carden will share mountain stories at the New Horizons Cafe from 7:30-8:30 p.m. |
