Put on your bib overalls and head to Duke Homestead for the annual Tobacco Harvest and Hornworm Arts Festival on Saturday, Sept. 12. The day starts with demonstrations of traditional tobacco harvesting, curing, and stringing down at the barn with Little River Cloggers
performing on stage. Enter the hornworm race or the MoonPie eating contest or just pick up some produce from the Farmer’s Market area. Save some room for homemade ice cream. In the afternoon relax to Piedmont blues played by legendary Durham guitarist and singer John Dee Holeman, hear the sounds of the only tobacco auction left in the Bull City, and browse
through the booths of 23 artists including painters, woodworkers and painters. Bring your instrument for the bluegrass jam session at 3 p.m.!
