SUMMARY:Spring Garden Fair
DESCRIPTION:Kingsport\, TN – In a time-honored area tradition\, Exchange Place Living History Farm will once again\nhonor the arrival of spring\, and the planting season\, with its beloved Spring Garden Fair. The oldest\ngarden fair in our region will be back for its 37 th year on Saturday\, April 29\, from 10 a.m. until 5\np.m.\, and Sunday\, April 30\, from noon until 5 p.m.\, at the 1850s farmstead\, located at 4812\nOrebank Road in Kingsport. Admission is $5 for ages 12 and older\, with no charge for\nanyone under the age of 12. \nEagerly anticipated by area gardeners — from beginners to experts – the Fair will feature thousands of\nplants for sale\, from old favorites to rare and hard-to-find varieties. Growers will offer perennials\,\nannuals\, trees and shrubs\, with an emphasis on herbs\, natives and heirloom plants. Gardening experts\nwill be available throughout the weekend to share their knowledge about plant selection and care\, and\nfolk and yard artisans will also be found throughout the grounds with unique plant and garden-related\narts and crafts. \nDemonstrations of springtime activities on the farm\, which is more than 200 years old\, helps to bring the\npre-Civil War years to life\, and are always highlights of the Fair. The Overmountain Weavers Guild\ncontinues their long tradition of “Sheep to Shawl” with sheep being sheared and the wool carded\, spun\ninto yarn and woven into a shawl within hours. In the blacksmith shop visitors may watch iron being\nshaped into nails\, hooks and other useful objects. The newly-renovated hearth kitchen will be filled with\nwonderful aromas as the Eden’s Ridge Hearth Cookery Society will be churning butter on Saturday\nand using the butter to make a pound cake on Sunday.  Meanwhile\, in the Cook’s Cabin\, they will be\nmaking hoecakes and other foods showcasing African American and rural Appalachian foodways. And\nthe Junior Apprentices will be hosting the second annual Tennessee Dancing Gourd Spin-Off and\ndemonstrating other chores and activities all over the farmstead.  In the garden\, they will be available to\ntalk about heirloom vegetables and herbs used in the 19th century. \nNumerous special events will highlight this year’s festival\, starting with a very unique memorial for\nDennis Marshall\, who passed away last July.  He was a Master Gardener and Southern Appalachian Plant\nSociety (SAPS) member who had been a regular volunteer at Exchange Place festivals for many years.\nWe are honoring Dennis by working with The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) to help restore this\neconomically and ecologically significant tree species. The American chestnut is considered “functionally\nextinct” due to an airborne fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) that was accidentally imported into the U.S\nin the late 1800s. The Foundation and its research partners are utilizing multiple approaches\, and\ncutting-edge science\, to develop a blight-resistant tree that can again survive and thrive in its native\nhome\, the eastern United States. Earlier this year\, TCAF donated three hybrid American chestnut trees\nto Exchange Place\, which have been planted. A formal dedication of a plaque honoring Dennis will take\nplace on Saturday\, April 29 at 4:15 pm\, and a spokesperson from TCAF will discuss the plight of the\ntree\, and share the latest research efforts towards restoration. \nBack by popular demand\, Jennifer Hanlon will be offering her beginner’s needle felting workshop\, in\nwhich people can learn the art of transforming fibers into a piece of art\, perfect for your springtime \ndecorating. This workshop\, which will be held on Sunday\, April 30th from noon to 4:00\, will allow\nyou to create your own little bunny! The cost is $65\, will be limited to no more than 10 participants\n(ages 10 and up only)\, and includes all the necessary supplies. Registration is done online; go to\nhttps://www.hanlonscreativecorner.com\, and scroll down to “Needle Felting Class Bunny” to sign up.\n(Please note that a deposit is required at the time of registration.) \nAlso on Sunday\, Linda Doan will once again lead the May Pole dance\, beginning at 2 pm\, with live music\nprovided by our very own Junior Apprentices Old-Time Band. And both days of the festival will feature\nFrank Ireson of Viking Leathercrafts demonstrating how shoes were made in the antebellum years\, using\nan authentic\, old-time Cobbler’s Bench\, donated to Exchange Place by Betty Moore.\nAs always\, there will be an abundance of activities for children\, with a focus this year on flowers and\npollination. And children of all ages will enjoy meeting our heritage animals\, including our brand-new\nbaby lambs. The larger critters — our resident cow\, donkey and horse – can be seen in the 1851 barn\,\nwhile our numerous sheep will be in a variety of locations\, with the chickens and roosters in their\nenclosed area behind the heritage garden. Speaking of the animals\, please note that all proceeds from\nthis event help with the care of our permanent residents\, as well as with the restoration and upkeep of\nthe site\, which is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. \nMusic fills the air for much of the Spring Garden Fair. A wide assortment of local and regional talent is\nscheduled to perform throughout the weekend; a complete schedule is listed below. (Please note\,\nhowever\, that it is always subject to last-minute changes.)
