LINCOLN STATE PARK – “Young Abe’s Bluegrass and Country Craft Fair” will return to Lincoln State Park on Sunday, October 8, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. central time. The second annual event will feature craft vendors and food trucks, as well as a live bird of prey interactive display, children’s activities, roving naturalist demonstrations with snakes, and more.
Young Abe’s Bluegrass and Country Craft Fair is a free event, although the normal Lincoln State Park gate fee will apply ($7 for in-state, $9 for out-of-state) to enter the park. Any proceeds from the event will benefit the Friends of Lincoln State Park, a 501c3 organization devoted to the support and preservation of Lincoln State Park and the Col. William Jones Home.
The afternoon will culminate with a ticketed bluegrass event at the Lincoln Amphitheatre at 4 p.m. with an exciting double bill of traditional bluegrass talent featuring ROMP veterans Kings Highway and Western Kentucky’s Classy & Grassy.
