Preliminary reports indicate the Indian Village held Sept. 17-18 during the Bluemont Fair was a huge success. The fair committee is reporting their largest year ever. Initial numbers indicate more than 5,000 adults and children visited the Indian Village; that is at least 50% of the more than 10,000 people who attended the fair. Many who attended indicated interest in The Gathering 2017 by their donations and support to the 20+ artisans featured during the 2-day event.
