The festival, in its 61^st year, will run tomorrow (Saturday) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Crowds will fill downtown to shop at hundreds of juried exhibitors and vendors, enjoy live music and experience springtime in Washington County.

Vendors on-site will be offering home décor, arts and crafts, jewelry, clothing, gardening products, country-style food and many other items.  There will also be a children’s court for family-friendly activities.

The entertainment lineup tomorrow features Chicken Live at a Bar from 8:30 to 11 a.m., Scott Grieger from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Suzanne’s Band from 2:30 to 4:15 p.m., and Cole Annoot from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.  On Sunday, Front Porch will open from 9:30 to 11 a.m., followed by Anastasia Kazyak from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
