An artisans market, antique tractors, attic treasures and drawings for a quilt and gas grill will be featured at the Saturday, November 13, Fall Festival in Gowensville.

The event takes place from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the community building on Highway 11 near the intersection with Highway 14.&bsp; Breakfast biscuits and coffee, a bake sale and a hot dog lunch are also planned.

The artisans market, featuring local residents, offers Christmas shoppers a variety of handmade items including quilts, jewelry, wooden bowls, dolls, honey, wreaths, ornaments, candles, hand-knitted items and more. A special Dark Corner area will offer the new Dark Corner documentary on DVD along with books, Dark Corner Heritage and Eyes to the Hills, a photographic odyssey of the Dark Corner of South Carolina, along with Gowensville license plates.

Planned and carried out by residents of Gowensville, the festival is a time for neighbors to visit and to support financially the community center, built in 1922 as the Gowensville school. It closed in the mid-fifties and now serves as a place for birthday parties, family reunions, weddings and meetings of the Landrum Quilters, under the auspices of the Greater Gowensville Association.
