ira Rifaat is coordinating this event. Tickets are $5 each.
Saturday night John McCutcheon will give a concert at Ki Theatre. Playing a variety of traditional Appalachian instruments, McKutcheon always provides great entertainment. Tickets for this event will be sold in advance for $10 ($8 for Ki Theatre, RFA and VABF members) and $12 at the door.
The weekend concludes Sunday with a potluck brunch and panel discussion beginning at 11 a.m. at Freddi and Clara Kumli’s Windsor Lodge near Flint Hill. Anne Furtick is coordinating this event.
Naturalist and historian Darwin Lambert will discuss how the interrelationship of farming, arts, and crafts to the land keeps the culture of communities alive. Donna Porterfield, a member of Appalshop, Inc., a rural arts and education center for the people of Appalachia, will tell about Appalshop and the role artists can play in a community’s diverse local life, Jim Thomasson, a county resident and Georgetown University professor, will share stories of local farm laborers. John Bums, president of VABF, will serve as moderator. All in attendance can share in the discussion, and admission is free with a contribution to the potluck, but reservations are required for this event. Call Ki Theatre at 675-1616 to register.
Ki Theatre director Julie Portman notes that the weekend events are funded in part by a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Humanities. She said that coordinators have been working to produce the fall festival for a year and that she hopes this will be the first of many such events.
“What we’ve tried to do is work together to shape a celebration and commemoration of what we hold in common, which is our respect for the land here which sustains and inspires, all of us,” Ms. Portman said. “Our goal is to create a weekend of events for the whole family, and we hope Crossroads will become an annual fall festival that increasingly brings diverse members of the community together.”
Ms. Portman urges everyone to order advance tickets for events that will save up to 30 percent on the cost.
