Rockmart gears up for Homespun Festival

why do they cram all of the vendors in one space and then set up all of the food down where it's shaded and more spacey? It would be nice, though, if they didn't take up the pavilions with the food vendors and actually saved them for people who would like to sit and eat. And turn the music down some .. can't even talk!

You don't come to the Homespun to talk! You come for the MUSIC, art's and crafts, the car show, the food, the kids games,the MUSIC, the 5K run, the fireworks, all the stuff you have to buy your kids because all the other kids have orange balloon's and glow-in-the-dark necklaces and big orange (what's up with orange) blow-up guitars, oh, and the MUSIC.

I don't know why it says Mcdonough I've lived in Rockmart all my life!

The location is based on your ISP

You left out the entertainment .. the p.c. pageant and overweight dancers

Great food, though! But why can't they do it when it isn't so dang hot?? Like May or June!!

We had a good time and got to see some old friends. The food was awesome - we had fried shrimp and curly potatoes that were great. I wish my aunt hadn't gotten upset and left cause she was lookin forward to a funnel cake so we took her one home. She just found out she has breast cancer so she got emotional when the guy brought up cancer. Other than that, it was a nice day even if it was hot.

Why is it that dancers are bigger these days?

The Homespun Fest. The place where all the rednecks come out to show off their red necks. Where all the people who shouldn't be allowed to breed bring their sub~par brats......beautifal. This is a tradition I can do without. No matter where you are in Rockmart, for that day you are forced to listen to horrible versions of terrible songs like "Free Bird" played by bands that would not know musical taste if it bit them on the butt. Do the bands that play there still made up mostly of the Rockmart cops? They can't solve any crimes, but they play a mean "fiddle".

Just an excuse for people to talk about each other and gossip. I'll sit this one out.....Thanks, but no thanks.

I question why someone is allowed to charge $3 for children to pick a single duck out of a tub of water; they all win a prize from Oriental Trading Co. valued at 50 cents or less. I thought all of the booths had to offer handmade items, but I guess the rules don't apply to everyone.

They didn't force you to pay 3 bucks. You made the decision.
