"An Old Fashioned Sunday" Festival, Free at Dahmen Barn September 18, 2011

An Old Fashioned Sunday in Autumn is the theme this year of the annual free-to-the-public festival at Artisans at Dahmen Barn. The special event will focus on time honored crafts.

Two contests, Straw Bale Sculpture and Pie Baking are sure to provide winners. Pie baking flavors for this year's contest are peach and apple, and a prize will be awarded each flavor. One pie consititues an entry, to be delivered by 8:20 a.m. Sunday. Judging begins at 10:00 a.m. Pie ala mode sales follow.

The Barn will provide bales for a Staw Bale Sculpture Contest. Entrants provide the embellishments and creativity. There is no fee to enter and a cash prize will be awarded to the People's Choice winner. Sponsors would like to have the sculptures in place about a week prior to the event, so let them know how many bales you need. The only requirement is that entrants place a weatherproof sign with their sculpture's name next to it. Call (509) 229-3414 for information.

Authors Nona Hengen, and noted historian Richard Scheuman along with award winning photographer John Clement will sign their respective books, The Shoebox Letters and Northwest Drylands - Seasons,  Noon - 3 p.m.

Live music, 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., will be feature Matt McCarley, The Kitchen Band, and Loose on the Palouse.

A silent auction of desserts, vintage movies of farming on the Palouse, Whitman County Library's Rural heritage Photo Display (on third floor of the Barn), demonstrators and vendors, food by The Uniontown Deli (in yard behind the wheel fence, featuring but not limited to the famous 22" long hot dogs.)

A complete list of about a dozen and a half demonstrators already booked can be seen by scrolling about halfway down the page to demonstrators....
