Northern Kentucky Day Trips: The Woolfest Arts and Crafts Festival

The 2007 Woolfest Arts and Crafts Festival weaves its way into Falmouth, Kentucky October 5th- October 7th.

The Woolfest art fair features crafts, art, music and food from dozens of vendors. Crafts include everything from birdhouses to baskets to candles to chainsaw carving. And a whole heck of a lot more- essentially, a great place to do some early Christmas shopping. Live music at the crafts festival is a mixed bag, featuring Kentucky crooners like Hills of Kentucky, Harkey's Hoedowners and the County Line Ramblers. None of the more than two dozen bands sounds familiar, but I'd be willing to bet you'll hear some good bluegrass at Woolfest this year.

And the food, while covering the standard craft festival fare bases (funnel cakes, elephant ears) has some promising stand-outs from local organizations and churches, including lamb, pork tenderloin, chicken and dumplings, ribeye sandwiches and doughnuts. Jeez. Is it just me? Or does that sound pretty good?

Park for 2007 Woolfest at Pendleton County High School on U.S. 27 or grab a shuttle bus at the Pendleton County Library on Main Street in downtown Falmouth, Kentucky. Shuttle buses run between the Pendleton County High and Pendleton County Public Library every 1/2 hour during the craft festival.

2007 Woolfest runs from 10 am to 10 pm on Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th. 10-6 on Sunday.
