Homeplace on Green River annual Plow Day and Spring Festival This year's Homeplace festival will be biggest so far. By George Kolbenschlag The horse and mule plow teams, antique tractors, artists and crafters, exhibitors and an assortment of family activities will be at Homeplace on Green River for the annual plow day/spring festival this Saturday, April 27, 2019, from 8amCT/9amET until 4pmCT/5pmET. This will be the 9th year for the spring festival at Homeplace. The cost for the day is only $10 per car including occupants. All of the activities are included except purchases from vendors. Homeplace is located on Old Columbia Road (KY Highway 55) between Campbellsville and Columbia at 5807 Columbia Road, Campbellsville, KY. There are signs at the location. For a list of activities, go to homeplacefarmky.org. The first spring festival at Homeplace in 2012 drew 900 people. In subsequent years, the annual spring festival has grown. Last year an estimated 2,500 attended and if the weather cooperates, and it looks like it will, this coming festival should exceed that number. The first spring festival was the result of an invitation to host the well-established tractor show that was first organized in 1997 by Adair Countian Lewis Garrison. The tractor show was held each year at Mr. Garrisons farm, but its success made it hard to host so many people and tractors. When Mr. Garrison asked if Homeplace would host the show Homeplace Board enthusiastically agreed, and the spring fest at Homeplace joined the long-established fall heritage festival. But by 2015 there were fewer tractors, and the board decided to replace the tractor show with a plow day, and that year twelve horse and mule teams demonstrated their plowing skills while families enjoyed a variety of early Kentucky farm demonstrations, family activities, Kentucky made arts and crafts and good food. This year there will be more artists and crafters, more folks demonstrating farm and early Kentucky crafts and skills, more exhibitors, more food vendors and, no doubt, more families enjoying the festival. Three years ago, the tractors came back to join the plow teams and other festival activities. There were 14 horse and mule plow teams last year and double that number plan to be there for this year's festival. There will also be a large contingent of antique tractors. Last year there were 20, this year more are expected. There will be Kentucky arts and crafts and a variety of food items. In years past, the line was long for the kiddie barrel train, so this year there will be two barrel trains. There will be face painting, Native American arts, colonial reenactors, hay rides, sheep shearing, pottery making, horseshoeing and opportunities to see what life was like on the farm many years ago. At least 20 folks will be demonstrating their skill in everything from butter-making to horseshoeing. At least 27 Kentucky artists and crafters will be showing and selling their work and nine food vendors will be selling tenderloin, pulled pork, fish and other sandwiches, ice cream, cotton candy and other goodies. There will be hayrides, a petting zoo, and live music will be keeping the show barn lively with the music of the Exie Boys, Renetta and Friends, Retro Faith Gospel, Killin' Time and Leah Hayes and Benson Sexton.
