The award-winning Blue Ridge Folklife Festival taking place tomorrow at Ferrum College is now in its 53rd year – and there are a few new wrinkles this year, like an 1800-style farm museum and a showcase of contemporary artisans and interactive exhibits. The Folklife Festival tomorrow from 10am to 5pm will also feature storytelling sessions, four stages with live music, a petting zoo, an agriculture student showcase – and a mechanical bull. Admission is free this year, with a flat fee to park no matter how many are in your vehicle. The Folklife Festival has been called “thoroughly authentic,” by the New York Times. There’s also fair rides, traditional folklife demonstrations and a car show. Not to mention a dunk tank. Dr. Mirta Martin is the college’s President:
