Murray’s Mill Harvest Folk Festival

We wanted to let everyone know about a great little festival here in North Carolina that we look forward to every year.  This festival is run by the Catawba County Historical Association and the local boy scouts. Here is a little information from their website:

"The Murray’s Mill Harvest Folk Festival celebrates Catawba County’s agricultural heritage with an array of exhibits, craftsmen, and activities, including petting zoos, antique cars, tractors, and farm machinery, and traditional food preparations such as molasses making. Bluegrass, Country, and Gospel comprise the impressive band schedule, the Cockman Family hosting musicians and audience in the Murray’s Mill Amphitheater. Included in the ticket price ($5 at the gate, children under ten are free) is a tour of the mill, whose original French buhr millstones grind away producing bags of flour, a prized and usable souvenir."

The wonderful folks who run this festival work very hard to make if family friendly and fun for everyone.  We would love to see you there!
