Smith says there will also be local crafters and food and drink vendors at the free event, plus horse-drawn carriage rides, demonstrations, and a costume contest open to anyone who wants to dress up like a pioneer.  The festival, which is in downtown Smartsville, starts at 9 on Saturday and runs all day before closing down at 4.  Parking and entry is free.  For more information, call 743-0413 or go online.
