Mark your calendar and make plans to attend Elsah’s First Spring Festival. It will be held on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11 2017. The event was originally scheduled for the first weekend of May but Mother Nature had other plans since the Great River Road was closed that weekend due to flooding. I reluctantly made the decision to reschedule until June 10-11. I am hopeful this will become an annual event to draw visitors to our quaint village. Organizing this festival has given me an opportunity to get to know my friends and neighbors better.

Spring Festival Will Feature Live Music, Food Vendors, Walking Tours & More…

There is a lot of local talent that will be represented at the festival including Crocker and Springer Pottery, Sun Smith-Foret with her handmade jewelry and J&J Homemade Chocolates. We will have hot dogs, kettle corn, and shaved ice. Walking history tours of the Village will start at Green Tree Inn. Green Tree Inn will also be offering free refreshments. Come and immerse yourself in the history of Elsah, enjoy local arts and crafts, live music and good food. With all the craziness in the world, why not take an afternoon to step back in time and explore the Village of Elsah. Full schedule of events and vendors available at: www.escapetoelsah.com
