Crafts are not the only thing for which this festival is known.  The festival has homemade bean soup and cornbread as well as more traditional festival foods such as hamburgers and hot dogs.  There are also a large variety of baked goods and candies available for purchase.

If you are a garage sale junkie, the Trash and Treasure area inside the church offers items that church members and local business have donated.  You will find household items, decorations, toys, books, art, and many other items in this area.

Local musicians perform throughout the day.
