Fall Folklore Jamboree

On Saturday, October 18, more than 100 traditional folk artists, musicians and demonstrators will cover the grounds of the West Tennessee Agricultural Museum for the 2008 Fall Folklore Jamboree. The artisans will demonstrate skills in traditional crafts such as broom and soap making, quilting, and doll making. Local bluegrass and gospel groups will fill the air with music throughout the day, and demonstrations of chuckwagon cooking, as well as molasses, apple cider and kettlecorn making will tempt visitors’ taste buds. The Fall Folklore Jamboree begins at 9:00 a.m.

“The Jamboree is a great opportunity for us to gather with the community and celebrate our heritage,” said Blake Brown, director of the Research and Education at Milan. “Each year we’ve seen the Jamboree grow and this year’s event promises to be the best ever.”
