Homeplace on Green River officials have not come up with an attendance count, yet, but the 2016 Fall Festival at Homeplace on Green River was unquestionably the largest attendance we've ever had.

Cars were parked where we've never had to park them before. Thanks to all. We'll have a wrap up later on.

Stripes the gentle Zebra a huge hit at HGR Fall Festival 2016

Just because she looks like a horse and smells like a horse does not mean Stripes is a horse. She's a zebra and unlike horses, zebras have never been domesticated in large numbers and are more kin to the donkey. But Stripes does not know that so she's very docile and was a popular attraction at the Homeplace on Green River Fall Heritage Festival Saturday. She and her friends came to the festival to be a part of the petting farm and they were all well-petted. She was joined by a miniature horse, a Brahma bull and other winged and four legged animals. - George Koblenschlag

A Record: Largest crowd ever at Homeplace on Sat 10 Sep 2016



2016-09-11 - Homeplace on Green River, 5807 Old Columbia Road, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by George Kolbenschlag.
The fall heritage festival Saturday at Homeplace on Green River drew the largest crowd at the farm since it was first established as Homeplace in 2001. Both the barrel train engineered by Taylor County Judge Advocate Eddie Rogers and one of the two hay wagons, this one piloted by Adair County's Billy Payne, make their way through the traffic at the festival. The Kentucky Department of agriculture mobile science activities van can also be seen. The tent on the extreme right sheltered the grill of Green County's Smokin' Joe Creason and the white tent on the left was the temporary home of pioneer reenactor Ken Hill and his family. For the first time the parking overflow had to be parked on the green on the left of the photo. - George Kolbenschlag
