My mother attended this past year and purchased marshmallow roasting sticks that are about 4 ft. long and made from twisted stainless and a wooden handle. I wish to know the name and contact of the vendor responsible for making these. I need more!
Peace,

Does anyone have the receipe for the Bean soup from Rockville? We love it and want to make it for family.

Thanks

My husband and I have attended the covered bridge festival for the last 4 years. We usually have a list of items we're looking for when we shop the various flea markets.

I can't get enough of the beautiful fall scenery. It's like stepping back in time when we travel the backroads. I make sure I have my camera along to capture some of the countryside.

We try to visit most of the market sights and enjoy all of them for what they have to offer.

My family moved from Southern California to Lafayette, Indiana 15 years ago. We have gone to the Covered Bridge Festival in Mansfield for 12 out of the 15 years. What I did miss though, was the Charmin Bathroom Trailer that was there for a few years. It has been missing the last couple of years! Please bring it back! It was a blessing to have such a large bathroom facility available. Especially when you have small kids with you. With all the food and drink vendors there, it is unfortunate that there aren't enough "real Bathrooms" there. (not Port-A-Johns). With all the bees swarming at that time of year, the last thing you want is to step into one of those portable johns and fight off being stung! My only complaint with the Manfield Festival is that they need more restrooms!

This was the fifth year for my wife and I to visit the Covered Brige Festival. We can never get enough of this event. And the trip from Louisville would not be complete without seeing the Parke County Players every year. They have never let us down. Mansfield, Bridgeton and Rockville are the greatest towns we have ever been to. We will be back year after year.

I greatly enjoyed the 2007 Covered Bridge Festival. This was not my first visit, nor will be my last. I am originally from the New England states and this event reminds me of fall in New York. I would love to see more home made items/vendors. I love unique hand crafted objects. I loved the rootbeer stand at Mansfield with the silver mugs...great item. I also loved the butter flavored kettle corn. I would like to ask...please, pretty please, could there be benches or places to sit and rest??

We'd like to know the name of the chainsaw artist who was in Bridgeton this year. Didn't get his card and want to contact him. His work was great!

Our family attended the festival both weekends. We prefer Rockville and Bridgeton as they have more real craftmans, artists and displays, rather than the more commercial booths in Mansfield. It is a family tradition for us and WE LOVE THE COVERED BRIDGE FESTIVAL!
