Can you provide fair grounds?The Harvest Festival & County Fair would like to find a more spacious and permanent home.
If you have open, centralized property in Floyd on Rt. 221 or Rt. 8 that you would like to make available or even donate to this yearly celebration of Floyd's agricultural heritage, it would allow for inclusion of many more activities and displays and ecological growth for our yearly festival and fair.
If curious, please contact Dawn Barnes at 745-9307
or email floydharvestfestival@yahoo.com

agriculture and celebrate our heritage?
