Activities include an art show, craft vendors, a tractor and engine show, a car, truck and motorcycle show and music performances by Alan Sibley & the Magnolia Ramblers, the Ray Sparks Band, and Brick Avenue.

A children’s area stage has been added and will feature performances by the William Bradford Huie Library, Kim’s Star Twirlers, the College Street Players and BalloonMasterz.

There will also be food vendors and a variety of fun and games.

In celebration of the upcoming festival, the public is invited to the Down Memory Lane program Sept. 12 at the Hartselle First Christian Church, hosted by the Hartselle Historical Society.
