5th Annual Fall Festival and Gatsby Day Celebration 

  Saturday, November 6th from 10 am to 5 pm

Enjoy the beauty and elegance of the 1920’s with fun for the entire family.  Delight in the vocal stylings of Jessica Mashburn as she shares her eclectic piano rock style with influences ranging from jazz to country and classic rock to old-time favourites.  Mashburn is a classically trained musician who is a regular in the Greensboro music scene and has toured the east coast with two major Top 40 bands.  The festival features a 1920’s costume contest with door prizes given for the top three costumes.  Wear your roaring 20’s flapper dresses and zoot suits if you like or whatever is comfortable for an autumn festival.  Classic cars will be on display on the grounds as well as a wide variety of fine arts exhibitors and crafts people with their wares for sale.  The Disabled American Veterans, a regular at the festival, will be serving their famous Brunswick Stew and Barbeque along with homemade sweets.  Funnel cakes, candy apples, hot dogs, hot chocolate and more will be available to delight the tastes of young and old.  Kids activities include pony rides, face-painting and panning for treasures.    Free hayrides of the surrounding Upper Piedmont Research station will be offered hourly.
