Patchwork Folk & Fabric
Festival
Jackson County Recreation/Parks
Department, Catch the Sprit of Appalachia
Inc., and Appalachian Homestead Farm &
Preserve are intent upon presenting to the
public the many talents of our local and
regional artists and crafters. We have
established this Patchwork Folk & Fabric
Festival to forever honor and preserve our
local talents and to assist in providing a sales
outlet directed to and for showcasing our
unique mountain heritage.
Traditional dress is required by all vendors,
for this is how it is being marketed.
Advertising and press exposure will
showcase stories of many of our crafters
beforehand. Wearing traditional dress will
demonstrate our unique local heritage and
also draw visitors to our festival.
On Saturday the festivities start at 9am at the
Jackson County Recreation Center in
Cullowhee, NC with arts and crafts of many
kinds inside the Gymnasium as well as some
folk arts and crafts outside. A food booth will
be provided and located inside the facility.
Our top priority for the Patchwork Folk &
Fabric Festival is to make your experience
and that of the attendees a truly rewarding
one. We would be honored to have you as a
featured artist at this annual festival. Please
look over the enclosed prospectus and
complete the enclosed application.
Thank You
