16th annual Francisco's Farm Art Fair Saturday, Sunday

The 16th annual Francisco's Farm Art Fair will be held Saturday and Sunday at Midway University. Sponsored by the university and Midway Renaissance, the fair will have more than 100 juried artists from several states, live music and a student art display.

The event will have some new features this year. In the university amphitheater, a new “Flavors of Francisco” offering will feature “Kentucky Proud” vendors and local wine.

Midway Renaissance named the event in 2004 for for Col. John Francisco, original owner of the land on which the city of Midway was laid out by Kentucky's first railroad.

The fair will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free. Parking is $5 per vehicle, cash only. Visitors will enter through the "Delivery/Farm Entrance" (marked with signs) and be directed to park in grassy fields. Those with handicap permits will have access to surface lots. Golf-cart shuttles will be available.
