Record numbers attend Homeplace Festival: recount raises total Attendance: 3,000! A new record! Numbers count. For food vendors. For the Homeplace. For the local economy. Even for the tired little ponies who hauled over 200 youngsters around in circles all day. It's all thanks to a lot of people, especially the volunteers. By George Kolbenshlag If numbers count, the Saturday, September 7, 2013 Homeplace on Green River Fall Heritage Festival was a great success. Even if you don't consider the record attendance of over 3,000, it's clear that most of the festival goers, artists and crafters and vendors left the farm happy participants. Most of the food vendors ran out of items and at the end of the day the choices of ice cream flavors and sandwiches were limited. The ponies left for home very tired little guys having hauled over 200 youngsters around in circles all day long. One of the hay ride wagons gave up with a flat tire. But the other one stepped in and did double duty. People left the crowded parking with chrysanthemums, crafts, works of art, food items, tired children and tired feet. Six vocal and instrumental groups and individuals provided live music for what was most of the time an overflowing audience throughout the day. There were over 30 persons who took advantage of guided tours of the three newly opened walking trails and an unknown number of others who struck out on their own on the well-marked trails. Those trails remain open seven days a week and the trail heads are well marked at Homeplace and at the Tebbs Bend toll house on Tebbs Bend Road. As was the case last year, those attending left the farm in good shape. They used the designated trash and recycling containers and there was very little litter left when all went home. That was very much appreciated by the small clean-up crew. As is always the case at Homeplace the work planning and executing the festival was all done by volunteers. Not only those who signed on before the event, but by many who jumped in where needed at the spur of the moment including students from Adair County High School and Lindsey Wilson College. Much of the hard work preparing for the festival was done by Homeplace's friends from the Healing Place in Campbellsville. They provided much needed help on short notice.
