Royal Bull Thistle Arts Festival

40th Anniversary

Saturday, August 5, 2017 beginning at 11:00 a.m.

 

Since 1977 a community festival of the arts including performances, arts and crafts sales, local food, children's activities and even an arm wrestling tournament has celebrated one of our most impressive natives - the Bull Thistle.  The Fayette Community Fine Arts Council supports the Festival as a vendor.  We encourage everyone to come out and join the fun.

There will be ARTS and CRAFTS for you to puruse and purchase
