What: According to its own facebook posting:

This event is dedicated to showcasing the area’s folk culture and it’s history! The Wiregrass Ecological & Cultural Project and friends will be interpreting what life was like around the Okefenokee Swamp during the mid to late nineteenth century.

We will also be recognizing Sue Clark Day and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Okefenokee Heritage Center.

This year we are partnering with WayGreen and the Local Fare Market, so there will be various vendor and food booths with a variety of local products. Stay tuned for an updated list of booths.
