The weekend of September 20-21st was quite the busy one for Washington County. Two Friday night Homecoming football games, Friday Night on the Square, and the opening day of the Campbellsburg Country Festival. Needless to say, there was plenty to do, and the Campbellsburg Country Festival certainly did not disappoint.
Located in the heart of Campbellsburg, this two-day long festival had attractions for everyone: live music and shows, food trucks, bouncy castles, town-wide yard sales, and more. Some notable events included performances by “The Monarchs,” Jared Kearschner, comedian Dorothy June, and the “Thunder Chickens.” In addition, there was also a baking contest, baby judging contest, a parade, and a fantastic performance by local classic rock group “Lysergic” to close the weekend out. Fireworks had been planned for the end of the weekend but unfortunately had to be canceled due to a burn ban. Nevertheless, that did not seem to put a damper on any spirits.
After a weekend full of smiling faces, it is safe to say the Campbellsburg Country Festival was a great success. Be sure to come out next year for a phenomenal, and little-to-no cost, way to have a wonderful time building lasting memories within the community.
