''Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves Herb Festival

[Guest guest]

" Mountain Herb Festival " is back this year. It has been billed as one of

the most unique festival in our Appalachian area of Kentucky for 2003,

because it is put on by people who have little in luxuries but they are

trying to do something for the environment and others.

 

Sept. 5-6, 2003.

 

If you enjoy pristine wilderness settings way back on 3 miles of gravel

roads with the singing creek by your campsite; this is where you need to

be. Held on the full moon at lakefront

 

Please send this to your email lists.
