Louie Bluie Festival Showcases Craft Vendors, Artists, and Quilters
The Louie Bluie Music & Arts Festival is Saturday, September 29 — a Fall festival, with the anticipation of pleasant temperatures and all the colors that nature bestows on the Cumberland Mountains surrounding Cove Lake State Park, in Caryville, TN ( just a mile off I-75 at exit 134).
Organizers are accepting craft vendor applications for space, and the deadline for a discounted vendor fee is Saturday, July 14. Pay only $40 if application with fee is postmarked no later than this date. One of the benefits of early registration guarantees the vendor’s name and a photo of their craft on the festival website where it remains until the 2013 festival.
Visit www.louiebluie.org for information about applications and vendor deadlines.
