POSTPONED: Fifth Annual Paw Paw Festival

  • Google Calendar ICS

Saturday, September 28: Noon-5, and
Sunday, September 29: Noon-5

Pawpaws are an integral part of Appalachian history. They are a native North American fruit. Native Americans not only ate the fruit; they made rope out of the bark. The Shawnee had a “paw paw month” on their calendar. George Washington’s favorite dessert was the pawpaw, and the Lewis & Clark expedition consumed the fruit when they ran out of food. Mary Draper Ingles was sustained by paw paws on her long trek home from captivity.

For various reasons, pawpaws have no commercial value, so people rarely see or hear about them. Few people know about this fruit and how easy it is to grow in their own yards.

Learn how to select, plant, and care for the paw paw. Go way down yonder to the pawpaw patch! Enjoy great bands and sip on local wine. Kids & dogs welcome.
