Heritage Festival - 2013

Come to Southeastern Illinois College in Harrisburg next weekend for the 36th annual Heritage Festival. We'll be set up in our usual place in the gym. This show, being farther away from our home base, has a lot of artists and crafters we don't see at any other shows. This is a great chance to get a jump on your holiday shopping. Stop by and say hello.

Vulture Fest - 2013

 This weekend in Makanda is one of the most unusual events in the country.  Vulture Fest celebrates the winged scavengers which flock to the hills around the village.  Makanda, nestled in a valley south of Carbondale, is unique in Southern Illinois, a blend of native, funky, and old-hippy elements which provides a setting found nowhere else.  Come on down for the bands, the food, the arts (yes, Ruth & John's will be there again), the Rainmaker's Garden, and some of the best people watching you can find. 


This is also the last of our outdoor shows for the season, so come on out and visit us in our tent, Saturday and Sunday, October 19-20, 11:00a-6:00p.  The weather looks to be spectacular. 

We'll be looking for you.

Southern Illinois Irish Festival - 2013

This weekend is the Southern Illinois Irish Festival, a celebration of all things Celtic.  Head on out to Turley Park in Carbondale and celebrate your heritage, or better yet, someone else's!  Lots of great music; vendors; and the Highland Games, big burly people throwing big, heavy objects.  We'll be there, too, and Ruth has made a special Celtic knot soap just for this occasion.  Drop in and say hello.
