SUMMARY:Affrilachian Dinner
DESCRIPTION:The Heritage Alliance is excited to host  Chef Torrece Gregoire (Chef T)  of Union 41 restaurant at the Langston Centre on Tuesday\, September 19th for a special Affrilachian Dinner as a part of the Taste of Tennessee Festival. The Taste of Tennessee is a weeklong event throughout northeast Tennessee that will highlight Appalachian foodways. Tickets for the Affrilachian Dinner can be purchased through the Town of Jonesborough’s ticketing website at jonesborough.com/tickets. You can also call 423-753-1010 to reserve tickets. \n\nChef T is a private chef\, culinary artist\, entrepreneur\, and TV personality. In addition to always cooking up a storm\, she has appeared on Hell’s Kitchen twice and Food Network’s Big Restaurant Bet. She is currently a chef at Union 41 restaurant in Bristol\, VA. At a special dinner catered by Taste Budz at the Langston Centre in Johnson City\, she will talk about the connections between African cuisine and Appalachian cuisine as well as her personal journey through the food world. Funds from the Affrilachian Dinner will help support the educational programs of the Heritage Alliance\, like the Oak Hill School Heritage Education program\, local history tours\, and much more. \n\nThe Taste of Tennessee Festival takes place from September 17th – 24th with events occurring throughout the region. It is the recipient of an Arts Project Support Grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission. The term “Affrilachia” is attributed to author Frank X Walker who began using the term in the 1990s to combat the stereotype that Appalachia was not a diverse region. The Taste of Tennessee celebrates the melting pot that is Appalachian cuisine and culture. We are excited to host Chef T at the Langston Centre.

SUMMARY:Exchange Place Living History Farm: Fall Folk Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:Kingsport\, TN – People in the Tri-Cities and the Appalachian Highlands have grown up with Exchange Place\,\nand especially with its seasonal celebrations. And now\, one of the oldest fairs of its kind in our region will be\nentering its second half-century\, as Exchange Place Living History Farm holds its Fall Folk Arts Festival\nfor the 51st time. A joyous celebration of pioneer arts and crafts and the harvest season\, the festival will take\nplace on Saturday\, September 23\, from 10 am until 5 pm\, and Sunday\, September 24 from noon\nuntil 5 pm. Admission is $5\, with those under 12 admitted free. As always\, proceeds go towards the\ncare of the farm’s animals and the continued restoration and preservation of the site\, located at 4812\nOrebank Road in Kingsport\, Tennessee and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\nBoth sides of Orebank Road will be filled with sales\, foods and demonstrations as festival vendors offer a wide\narray of traditional folk arts\, along with plants\, local foods and seasonal crafts. Artisans\, including\nwoodworkers\, potters\, authors and artists\, will display and sell their work. Unique crafts will be found\neverywhere – leather goods; a variety of soaps\, including one made from donkey milk; toasty warm hats and\nmittens made from alpaca fleece; handcrafted greeting cards; and many knitted and crocheted items. There\nwill also be local honey\, goat milk cheeses\, homemade jams\, jellies and breads\, and much more.\nA focus of the Fall Folk Arts Festival is on demonstrations of fall activities that might have been found on a mid-\nnineteenth century Northeast Tennessee farm. History will come alive as visitors see sorghum being milled and\ncooked on Saturday\, with Maggie T. Mule pulling the mill\, while Sunday’s activities will consist of details about\nthe process of making sorghum. (Pure sorghum syrup\, made fresh this year by the Guenther family of Muddy\nPond\, TN\, will be on sale\, as long as supplies last.) Elsewhere on the farm volunteers will demonstrate other\nskills such as blacksmithing and chair caning.\nGuilds around the region continue to teach and perpetuate folk arts and handicrafts. The Overmountain\nWeavers Guild began at the first Fall Festival 51 years ago\, and this partnership continues at the Burow\nMuseum as they demonstrate the arts of spinning and weaving. Visitors can see curtains for the historic site\nbeing woven on the restored Rocker Beater loom\, learn the story of the weavers behind the antique drafts that\ncame with the first loom gifted to Exchange Place\, and see the three top award winners from the OMWG\nAnniversary Challenge. Guests may also weave a part of an antique draft themselves. Guild members will be\navailable to show\, and give more information\, on the sale of antique and vintage spinning and weaving\nequipment. Another long tradition is the Tri State Basket Guild offering the opportunity for youth to make their\nown baskets\, with proceeds going to feed the resident animals. In addition\, Chapter 162 of the National\nAssociation of Watch and Clock Collectors will return with a host of antique clocks and advice on how to restore\nold timepieces Thanks to the generosity of Rod Groenewold of Kingsport\, one of his clocks will be available at\nhis booth as part of the Silent Auction.\nIn the kitchen\, the Eden’s Ridge Hearth Cookery Society will be baking sweet potato biscuits and\nhoecakes to go with that fresh sorghum syrup\, as well as other foods common in the antebellum era. The\ncostumed Junior Apprentices will not only be assisting in this fun task but are also a part of demonstrations\naround the farmstead\, including gourd crafting near the Cook’s Cabin and rug braiding on the Main House front\nporch. Some of their handcrafted items\, including tulip poplar bark baskets and hand-forged knives\, will be\nincluded in the Silent Auction to help raise funds for their program.\nA special shopping opportunity this fall is the result of volunteers cleaning out the John Gaines Store prior to its \ncontinuing restoration\, along with corners of other buildings. Many of these "treasures" — such as a hand-\ncrafted mountain dulcimer — and other items found that are no longer used\, do not fit the site's 19th century\nfocus and will be offered to visitors in the Silent Auction\, held in the Roseland Visitor's Center and in the\nBaaaa..rn Sale near the 1910 Barn. Historic details of items will be included in the display.\nA highlight of this festival will be the offering of two major workshops. On Saturday\, master crafter Heather\nAshworth will teach two classes in broom-making. Reprising the program she offered two years ago\, Ms.\nAshworth will offer classes in the Roseland building from 10 am until 12:30 pm\, and another from 1:30 pm\nuntil 4 pm. She will supply all materials as she teaches students how to bind two whisk hand brooms\, using\nbroom corn and colorful cord. The cost will be $70 and will include all materials\, plus admission to the Fall Folk\nArts Festival. Students must register for either class in advance by contacting her at\nhello.heatherashworth@gmail.com.\nThe other workshop will be held on Sunday. Back by popular demand\, Jennifer Hanlon has scheduled a\nnew needle felting class; this year’s project is to make a 2D/3D pumpkin refrigerator magnet. The workshop\nwill begin at noon\, also in Roseland\, and will continue for about three hours. The cost of this workshop will\nvary ($25 to $45)\, depending on how many supplies you would like Ms. Hanlon to furnish. More information\,\nincluding registration\, can be found at www.hanlonscreativecorner.com.\nChildren's "chores and play" will be scattered around the farmstead\, allowing the young (along with those\nyouthful in mind and spirit!) a chance to experience what it was like to be a child in the 19th century. Thanks\nto volunteers and community groups\, a wide range of children's hands-on activities will be available\, including\nmaking a rope with the Boy Scouts. As always\, visitors will have the opportunity to wander over to the 1851\nbarn and meet some of those animals who live there all year long\, including our donkey\, cow\, and cats\, plus\nthe sheep\, chickens\, and pigs found in various other locations. There will also be one vendor bringing baby\nchicks to the festival!\nA large variety of foods and drinks will be available throughout the weekend for snacks and lunch to eat on\nsite\, as well as food items to take home. And all of this will feature a backdrop of excellent live music\,\nprovided by local and regional artists. (A tentative schedule of performances\, always subject to last-minute\nchanges\, is listed at the bottom of this release.)\nThe official countdown to Witches Wynd begins each year with the Fall Folk Arts Festival. Exchange Place’s\nunique storytelling adventure will be offered live again this year\, and tickets will first be made available during\nthe Festival. The 31st Witches Wynd is Friday\, October 20\, and Saturday\, October 21\, and tickets must\nbe purchased in advance. Historically\, this unique blend of macabre tales and ballads sells out quickly since\nonly a limited number of spaces are available\, so we encourage people to purchase them during the Fall\nFestival. Tickets are $10 apiece and will be found at the Museum Store.\nFor more information or to volunteer at the festival\, please call 423-288-6071\, visit our new website at\nexchangeplacetn.org\, or write to epfestivals.gf@gmail.com.\nExchange Place is a living history farm whose mission is to preserve and interpret the heritage of mid-\nnineteenth century farm life in Northeast Tennessee.
