Let's Go Shopping 
Historic Pensacola Avenue is the setting for two separate art shows, both fine arts and crafts. Step up close and observe the trades and traditions of your ancestors as artisans demonstrate.  Pottery, fine art, primitive art, painted gourds, soap making, bird houses, baskets, and photography - Williams Station Day is a great place to purchase those early Christmas gifts.

MICROWAVE DAVE & THE NUKES

Twenty years of performances in the U.S. and Europe and six albums – with more on the way – have helped Microwave Dave & The Nukes establish a wide multinational audience.  Venues vary from French soccer stadiums to Bike Week in Daytona Beach, from blues cruises on the Big Red Boat to neighborhood saloons, but the thousands of shows delivered by the band all reflect one core element:  the heritage blues music enjoys as a lifter of spirits.  As Microwave Dave puts it:  “Blues is America’s first – and still best – self-help program.” 

Gary Ledbetter, Magician

For over thirty years, Gary has been performing magic nationally and internationally, including Las Vegas and CNN News.  A terrific entertainer for all ages.

Fiddle Me A Tune

The most valued possession of many a settler in the 1800’s was a fiddle.  Join us for an all day jam session featuring Winkie Hicks’ Frontier Bluegrass group.  From waltzes to hoedowns, these musicians will impress you with their talent and spontaneity.  The Old Time Fiddlers’ Tent is proudly sponsored by the Atmore News.

Tell Me A Story

PAULA LARKE

Since people began to communicate with each other, “tell me a story” has been a request of both children and adults.  This year’s Storytelling Tent sponsors, Alto Products Corp. and Royal Oaks Bed & Breakfast are pleased to present Paula Larke, nationally renowned performer/lecturer.  A veteran of the professional stage, Paula utilizes her music, poetry, and stories of real life heroes and “she-roes” as a modern day “dajali”, or historical chronicler.  Paula uses her stories and songs to illustrate essential lessons of peacemaking:  integrity, fortitude, hope, and healing.  Visit www.paulalarke.com for more info on Paula Larke. 

 
Climb Aboard A Giant Locomotive

What would a fall heritage event be without an old time Cane Mill? Montgomery the horse will be squeezing cane and real cane syrup will be available at Kyser Kuntry Store. Children of all ages will enjoy the Model Train Show located inside the YMCA. For Thomas fans,  catch the hayride to the Craig Street crossing where a working locomotive provided by AL & Gulfcoast Railroad will be parked.  What child would not want to climb aboard this giant locomotive, sit in the engineer's seat, and sound the whistle?
