This was my first opportunity to attend this festival which is dedicated the battle of Ft Ligonier…read morethat took place during the French and Indian War. My husband and I missed the parade since it was a rainy morning but I did manage to get a glimpse of the Heinz hitch as it was going by and some of the University of Pittsburgh marching band as well as a float or two left parked. The festival is spread out throughout the entire town which is fairly small. Vendors and crafts are set up in various locale all around. If you are not up to walking they do have a complimentary shuttle that will take you to where you want to go. At the center where the diamond of the town sits is an information booth. They are on hand to answer all your questions as well as give you a festival map with all the events, food, vendors, etc. They have live entertainment in the Gazebo throughout the day. Make sure to check your guide if there is anyone in particular you wish to see. Most of the vendors are craft vendors and some of them I have seen elsewhere such as the Three Rivers Arts Festival and the Pittsburgh Home and Garden show. They have other specialty services scattered around such as healthcare or major product advertising. Perhaps the best is that they do re enactments of the battle of Fort Ligonier. It's neat to see the townspeople dressed in colonial costume and militia. Food abounds in this place with the majority of it being around the diamond. There is no shortage of desserts, ice cream, and pizza. Much of the food is your typical fried stuff but look around if you see something that interests you. As far as restroom faculties are concerned, all they have are port a johns. You're not going to find a business that will let you in for that purpose. While we had hoped to park at the high school and shuttle over that lot was full so we were able to find "grass" parking on Rt. 711 south of the town for a fee. We grabbed a bite to eat at the "Laughing crab"-reviewed separately and later went for dessert at a raspberry and fruit vendor. Needless to say I loved our desserts there. I had a mixed raspberry and blackberry pie while my husband had raspberry shortcake ala mode. They don't skimp on toppings here. We found it interesting to look around at some of the original vendors we hadn't seen before. I was very impressed with one who uses old post office boxes found in the Post Office and used different types of wood to make banks. It's like having your own combination lock to a mini safe. Time did not permit us to see everything but we were very pleased with what we did see. We did not get the chance to tour the fort itself. There is a separate admission charge for that but hope to on some future visit. Fort Ligonier days are always held the 2nd full weekend in Oct. The vendors sell their merchandise from 9-6 on Friday and Saturday and from 9-5 on Sunday. It definitely was worth a visit and next time plan to come earlier so I can see the parade.

I was initially apprehensive…read moreespecially after reading some less than glowing reviews on Facebook but heck, I'm new to the country so I'm going to give almost everything a try (as long as it's within reasonable limits). The drive from Loudon to the festival site was beautiful. I went with low expectations and wanted to check out the food vendors however, the craft exhibitors were pretty interesting too. There were about 18 food trucks and stalls offering a wide variety of festival food. There was BBQ meats, kettle corn, ice cream, Mexican food, Asian food, waffles, espresso-based drinks, pepperoni rolls, butterfly potato, hotdogs, burgers and even an Oktoberfest-themed vendor. I had the Purple Piggy Pulled Pork Sandwich with Purple Mango Slaw, Smoked Mac & Cheese, and Baked Beans (made from scratch and not from a can) from Rolling Smoke Bar-B-Que's food truck. Cooked with wood fire, the tender pulled pork had a lovely smoky flavour. Don't miss the sides at US$4 each for a small portion. Though I've never been a fan of baked beans (scarred for life by canned beans), these were excellently smoky, sweet with maple syrup and was in all, a game changer. There are tons of food samples from dips to chips to slushies to coffee and wine (bring your ID) so you can get an idea of what you're buying. I didn't think I'd wind up buying anything but soon found myself buying quite a few soup kits, herbs, Chai tea, 3 bottles of wine and a handcrafted hardwood coin bank with an antique post office box door. The fair's on this weekend from 10 am to 5 pm. PS: Most of the vendors accept credit cards but bring cash as some only accept cash.

The Mountain Heritage Festival is an outdoor fall craft festival that takes place during three days…read moreeach September near Harper's Ferry. Besides crafts, there are fine arts vendors, music, wine, and food. Craft festivals are NOT my thing but I was invited on an outing and decided to try something new and I was not disappointed. Overview and Vendor Examples: There were close to 200 vendors onsite situated under large tents. Vendors sold items such as art glass, baskets, candles, bath and body products, clothing and accessories, dolls, dried flowers, furniture, jewelry, kitchen accessories, leather, metal, musical instruments, knives, photography, pottery, toys, etc. Some of my favorite non-food vendors were Forest Flower Jewelry which sold beautiful hand pressed flower necklaces, bracelets, etc. I also liked smelling all of the candle scents from the Pennsylvania Soy Candle Company. They went all out and transported a store full of candles to the festival. They had a large variety of scents such as Maple Bacon, Reindeer Poo, Nutty Taffy Apple, etc. There were lots of homemade soaps and lotions to choose from at various vendors as well. I did not intend to purchase anything but I bought a small bud vase, a pearl necklace, and three wine frappes. Food and Drink Samples/Vendors: At the end of the row of tents (or at the beginning if you wanted to start in a different direction), there are some great food and drink samples. I will mention a few favorites. A coffee vendor called Snookie Snookerwitz had vats of coffee and hot chocolate samples with flavors such as cinnamon hot cocoa (delish!), mint cocoa, hazelnut mocha, snickerdoodle latte, etc. Their station was really clean and inviting and the cocoa was great, albeit sugar laden. Meadowcroft Farm displayed a large array of relishes, pickles, salsas, pepper jellies, and jams. Their onion relish was really great. They had interesting items such as cinnamon pickles and cherry pecan jalapeño pepper jelly. One of the most popular vendors was Nectar of the Vine which served samples of mango and pomegranate wine slushies, or frappes as they like to call 'em. The pomegranate slushy was fantastic! I purchased several bags of the mix in various flavors (watermelon, pomegranate, and sangria). The bags were flying off the tables! The other food vendors provided samples of roasted nuts, dips and spreads, jams, syrups and a variety of sauces. You can look up any of these vendors via their website. Good to Know: You can consume wine samples on the grounds, but actual consumption of alcohol is prohibited on the grounds. Parking is attendant-guided, grass parking. Admission cost is $6- $7. The festival is opened daily from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm. I visited on a Friday and it was perfect. It was likely much more crowded on the weekend. I had plenty of space to move about and was not overwhelmed by the crowds except at one clothing station. The vendors were low pressure and did not push their items. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Many of the items are expensive. Plan a budget ahead of time. Even expensive items tend to look less expensive the longer you are browsing. Pack a lunch if you are trying to eat healthy. Food vendors are onsite but they serve items such as ice cream, fries, deep fried vegetables, and burgers. Bring a backpack. Do not try to carry a heavy purse all day. Wear comfortable shoes Bring sunscreen Restrooms are Porta-A-Potties only

Sure it is more expensive than if you purchased in a grocery store, but it is a fun experience making memories with your family. If you don't want to go the pick your own route, they have a lot of other fun things to keep you entertained.
