FESTIVAL FUN IS COMING NOVEMBER 1

It’s Hilltop Arts Festival planning time again — a time when the Hilltop Arts Society plans for the thousands that are drawn to the our town of Elkmont for a day of celebrating the arts.  There is another meeting tonight @ 6:30 pm at the downtown Elkmont Church of Christ Annex.

Started in 2012, Hilltop Arts Festival’s inauguration has a gamut of art booths from blacksmithing and woodworking to pottery, photography and fine arts. Add that alongside a mix of live music and what happened was an early November event — free to the public — that drew more than 2,000 attendees.

The Hilltop Arts Festival will be held on the first Saturday in November. It will feature Tennessee Valley artists selling their handmade or repurposed art. The entertainment will be from local musicians and may include a few special guests. The admission is free. Donations will be accepted. The money raised will go to the Pinkerton Award. The Pinkerton Award is an arts scholarship to be given to a student at Elkmont High School to help them pursue a career in the arts. For more information, please visit the Hilltop Arts Festival page or email us at hilltop.arts@yahoo.com.
