The cash price was 6.50, but if you needed to use a credit card you would've paid eight dollars, we called ahead so we knew to bring cash :-) The theater was decorated with pretty holiday trees and lights. The weather has taken a turn for the colder these past few days Hence i borrowed moms down parka before we headed to the theater. I was the only one in my party who actually stayed warm throughout the show because the place was barely heated it seemed. we all wore our hats gloves and coats the whole time. my dad was freezing when we left and my fiancés toes were numb! otherwise four stars for sure. there were plenty of seats and a balcony also, it was a very nice inside, recently renovated. I would definitely return again to see a production or another film. Bring your layers :-)

Today is the last day of this years summer Berea Craft Festival. Check it out! There is one in the…read morefall, but it's not as big because most of the vendors for the fall festival are Kentucky Proud. I remember going to the Berea Craft Festival a few times as a kid. I remember watching as the artists did their craft and art demonstrations. I specifically remember watching the candle maker dip a string in hot wax and creating a handmade candle. As a small child, I had no idea that was how candles were made. I was amazed. Finally, yesterday I went back to summer The Berea Craft Festival. My husband thought that it would be downtown, but it's not. We pulled up downtown and it wasn't the scenery that I remembered. I remembered it being in a heavily wooded area. So, I pulled up the event listing on Facebook and found the actual address, which was 11 minutes from downtown. As we pulled up, the first parking area was far from the festival, so there were a few shuttles. Most people were walking via the Indian Fort Trail, which is a heavily wooded and shaded walking trail that leads to the festival area. There is a closer parking area, right at the entrance, but it's heavily congested. So, if you have the time and energy, park at the first lot and walk the trail. The admission is $6 per person. Seniors get in at a $5 rate. If the admission fee deters you, I'd recommend checking out the Lexington Woodland Arts Fair in Lexington, it's very similar to this festival, but it's free. A big difference in the two festivals is that you will find several art demonstrations here. Although I didn't see a candlemaker this year, I watched a blacksmith at work and woodworker making art with a manual carving machine. The area within the festival this year is muddy. They laid down a ton of hay, but my shoes still got very muddy, so don't wear flip-flops or good shoes. I don't consider myself very artsy, but I enjoy window shopping, as I did here. I walked away with $5 fresh squeezed lemonade and artisan cheese.

They're only open on the weekends, so keep that in mind when visiting the theater. The concession stand is pretty decent, serving traditional Drive-In-Theater food.
