Gateway to the Delta

This arts and crafts festival is in Charleston, MS.  I traveled there just to visit on Oct. 15, 2016.  The weather was clear and the roads were good.  I wanted to do something different rather than the same festivals I have been attending in my area.  So I drove the 100-plus miles in perfect weather.  The old town is small, but there was a good sized crowd even early in the day.  There were over 20 booths of crafts, photos, some paintings.  Also the event had singing scheduled, but I did not stay for it.  The area has some famous people born there, with large murals of them on buildings.  It was an enjoyable event and I did buy a few things.  This was a contrast compared to the event I entered with my paintings at Noxapater, MS a few weeks ago, which was for sales but did not sell.  Sometimes it is best just to visit and check locations out before trying to enter.
