OCTOBER 18 & 19, 2008

Kentuck for Kids entertains both young and old with an invitation to befriend a tuba at the musical petting zoo or squish clay between your fingers.  A variety of activities are located throughout the park.
By popular demand, The Scrap Exchange out of Durham, North Carolina will travel to Northport.  The organization has worked hard for 10 years to collect and distribute industrial waste for reuse in the arts and education.  Thanks to the generous support of Tanner & Guin this innovative and exciting company will set up shop at the Kentuck for Kids pavilion.
The pavilion will bustle with activities of The Scrap Exchange, utilizing 30 to 35 barrels of different materials along with scissors, staples, tape and staff members.  Adults and children are invited to join the fun and make their very own creations to take home!
Take home your own sculpture when you visit the Clay Place. Plenty of water and Alabama clay are available for shaping works of art.
A variety of classical instruments from tubas to violins are on hand to be picked up, tooted, strummed and appreciated at the Musical Petting Zoo. Volunteers from the Tuscaloosa Symphony Guild explain how each instrument works and coach those eager to try their own hand at creating music.
Learning to make dolls from corn shucks has become a tradition for many a young Kentuck Festival visitor.  Join CHOM staff and volunteers and master the craft of making Corn Shuck Dolls at selected times during the festival.
The West Alabama Quilters Guild will offer various hands-on quilting activities at their booth.
T-shirts and handkerchiefs become works of art when their future wearers tie-dye them in a rainbow of colors at the Tie-Dye Spot.
