We went to the John C. Campbell Folk School's Fall Festival while we were in North Carolina. It was one of everyone's favorite things about our North Carolina trip. Local artisans were invited to sell handmade pottery, scarves, wooden bowls, stained glass, soap, wooden toys, etc. on the school's property. My mom bought me a beautiful scarf. Chris brought himself a handmade broom for his sauna.
There were also 2 stages for live bluegrass music and dance performances. This particular stage was amazingly beautiful. The backdrop was the mountains. It was difficult to get a good picture, but just trust me that it was gorgeous. Claire was mesmerized by the cloggers. I could totally picture her in a clogging dress and shoes dancing her heart out to Appalachian hits!
This is a picture of the other stage. Not as pretty, but the music was quite good.
We all shared a pulled pork dinner for lunch. The pig they were cooking was HUGE! It made our hog look really tiny!
We arrived in the early morning and by 1:30pm the kids were pooped. I think that Chris and I could have stayed all day under the pavilion listening to the various performers. The bluegrass was authentic!
