Columbus Farm Festival set for Saturday, Oct. 1 Residents will have the chance to celebrate Polk County’s agriculture heritage on Saturday, Oct. 1. The Town of Columbus will host the third annual Columbus Farm Festival. The street will be closed to vehicles but open to pedestrians who have an interest in seeing the farm displays, farm equipment and the items craftsmen will be making. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. activities will be held on Mills Street, Stearns Park and in and around the Courthouse Square. Activities will begin Friday night with the Civil War reenactors camped out on the Stearns Park lawn. Saturday offers an array of produce and products in an extended tailgate market. This year for the first time there will be a “Farm Chef Contest,” in which two different chefs prepare dishes for three
judges to taste-test. There will be farm animals such as draft horses, goats, ducks and chickens on display plus various types of farm equipment. The local horse and buggy team of Caroline and Abraham will be on hand for a narrated tour of the Polk County seat. The re-enactors from the Civil War will be on hand inside Stearns Park sharing their knowledge of the history about “The War Between The States.” The Polk County Agriculture Development Office, Town of Columbus and the Polk County Cooperative Extension Center sponsor this event. Polk County residents interested in becoming a vendor with locally made products should contact Lynn Sprague or Kacy Spooner at 828-894-2281. – article submitted by Angé High

Now that’s a good clue. In Tryon Little Theater’s season opener, “Clue: the Musical,” Mr. Boddy is a charming, charismatic and playful host for the evening. But then… dead. He may be a wiz at math, suave and handsome, hospitable and winsome, but he has a special kind of relationship with each of his guests that gives them a motive to kill him. They want him annihilated, terminated, obliterated. Dead as a doornail. But who has the mettle to do it? Well, you might just have a say in that. Come to the show and see how much influence you have. “Clue: the Musical” runs for two weekends on TLT’s workshop stage at 516 S. Trade St. in Tryon. Playing Sept. 22 - 25 and Sept. 29 – Oct. 2.
