The Sawdust Festival

My friend told me about a little place that started years ago: The Sawdust Festival. There wasn’t room for these artists elsewhere, so they set up space outside of town on a little lot. You can read all about their history on their page, it is lovely. The thing I took away from The Sawdust Festival story is the sacred echo I had heard from the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Meow Wolf story: if you don’t have a place to belong, make one and invite others into it.

I haven’t visited the festival yet, but I hope to do so one day. The festival is pretty big now and I’m happy for them! Way to go!
