Come join in the fun and comradery the festival has to offer. See gourd art from whimsical to gallery quality. Learn how to grow gourds and create your own art. There will be gourds for sale, vendors selling gourd art, raw gourds, embellishments, and tools. Live demonstrations will be done during the festival featuring some of the latest techniques being used in the gourd world. We will be having a raffle drawing with some great prizes to be given away. Our Gourd Store will be open for business selling some wonderful donated art work from many of our talented members. Proceeds from the raffle and gourd store help us to fund our festival.
We encourage you to enter your gourd art and display your work for others to admire. Join the fun and help make this the best festival yet!
