The Mentone Colorfest weekend will be Friday through Sunday. This local event continues to grow from its beginning at Brow Park.
I must congratulate Neal Whitt and his committee on creating entertainment for all ages.
The children's festival will be next to the General Store. The trout pond, hamster balls and pony rides are sure to be a huge hit with the children.
More than 80 artists and craftsmen will show and sell their work in the beautiful park overlooking the valley below. I have always found special holiday gifts at the vendors' booths.
A bonfire, dinner and music in the heart of downtown Mentone kicks off the event on Friday evening. International jazz ensemble, Watters Felts Project, will perform at the Mentone Inn pavilion.
Local entertainer Leah Seawright will highlight Saturday night's musical lineup. You can also enjoy dinner and a performance by Nature's Way on the outdoor stage at the Mentone Inn. One World Adventure will provide their famous catfish dinner, beginning at 5 p.m.
Do not miss the Mountain Breeze Equestrian Team on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the vacant lot next to the Mentone Post Office.
The festival is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
We wish our Mentone friends great success with the festival. We all prosper when we support each other. After all, Fort Payne is the gateway to Lookout Mountain.
Carol Beddingfield is the director of the Fort Payne Chamber of Commerce.
