The Sights and Sounds of the Florida Folk Festival

Aired on WUFT on May 30, 1997

File2Thousands of visitors “came home to Florida” last weekend.  That was the theme of this year’s 45th Annual Florida Folklife Festival in White Springs.  Many of the state’s well-known recording artists as well as the “not-so-famous” entertained audiences on a variety of outdoor stages.  Donna Green-Townsend attended this year’s festival and reports the success of the event can be felt through the three senses: smell, sight and sound.
