A Native American artifacts show will be held Saturday, July 27 at the Mike Foster Multi-Purpose Center from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and proceeds will go to the county complex for minor touchup repairs. Admission to the event is free. Parents come and bring your children.
The artifacts show will feature displays ranging from arrow heads to pottery and some items will be available for sale or trade. “We will have 70-eight-foot tables full of artifacts displays. We sell the table (space). It cost $15 for the table per person and that money goes to pay for all the expenses of the show and any money left will be donated to the complex,” said Mike Foster, one of the event organizers.
“We will have people there with displays from various states including Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Alabama to name a few showing arrow heads, beads, pottery, and much more. We will also be giving a few awards for outstanding displays,” said Foster.
The show is sponsored locally and by the Volunteer State Archaeological Society, a non-profit educational organization devoted to the study of prehistoric America. This society is one of the largest of the independent state societies affiliated with Central States Archaeological Societies.
