How many of you older senior citizens can remember when the gypsies used to travel through the countryside in covered wagons, dressed in beautiful clothes and lots of beautiful jewelry. They would stop and ask for water and food. Sometimes farmers chickens and eggs would disappear as Martha McCrosky can remember when they used to camp in Rupel’s woods. I can remember when I attended Cudney School near Haag’s Fruit Farm back then and our teacher let the pupils stand up and watch out the windows as a caravan of six wagons passed by. Were we ever scared. It is said they would tell your fortune. Now they travel by expensive cars. A

Be sure to bring a hearty one. This is the second year that the North Liberty Lions Club has sponsored the festival. The merger of the festival committee with the Lions Club has added expertise and reduced liability insurance worries. The Lions are very proud to be a part of this longstanding festival. The festival was started in 1976 by a group of civic minded citizens from a crossection of the community. The committee was headed for many years by Gaylord “Salty” Saltzgaber. Under his fine direction the festival continued to grow and prosper. The festival continues the tradition of being one of the best arts and crafts festivals in the midwest. The festival encourages local artists and craftsmen to show their wares. Local musical talent is also featured. Some of the groups to perform include local favorites such as “Little Roger's Dixieland Gi’nts” and “Silvercreek”. “The Family Affair” and “The John Glenn Marching Falcons and Crimson Illusion" will also display their talents. The barbershop quartet. “Round Tu It”. "This End Up” And Nancy Olson" and "The Country Sunshine Show" round out the entertainment. Little Roger's Dixieland Giants feature dixieland and jazz.

The music of our ancestors and founding fathers will be revived by “The Round Town Ramblers”. The group hails from Plymouth. They also play a selection of country and bluegrass.

The youngest generation will really enjoy “This End Up". This group plays the top 40 and other dance tunes to shake your booty. “Silvercreek" band brings the finest in 50’s and 60’s and country to this year’s festival.
