The Whippoorwill Festival – Skills for Earth-Friendly Living
The goal of the Whippoorwill Festival is to promote sustainable living in Appalachia by teaching earth-friendly living skills with one another in a joyful, healthy, family-friendly atmosphere.
Big thanks to our local Public Radio station, WEKU. Recently Whippoorwill Festival planners Melissa Calhoun and Ben Ibershoff had a sit down with WEKU's Samantha Morrell for a chat. We think they did a great job conveying our essence.
If you're curious what Whippoorwill is all about, this is a great way to find out before you come!

NEED A RIDE TO THE FEST?? GIVE A RIDE TO THE FEST!!
Every year we get several folks needing a ride as well as several folks traveling alone who'd probably love some help with gas. We love sharing resources and minimizing our carbon footprint! We've tried several of the rideshare/carpooling websites to help people coordinate but rarely does anyone use those. Right now we're asking everyone to post on the Facebook event with offers and needs. If anyone knows any more effective and efficient ways to coordinate rides, let us know! Until then, if you're planning on attending and you've got space in your car (or need a lift) please comment on the event page with your trajectory.

Remembering Carol Judy and her continuing legacy
We need forests we can get lost in; trees that make us gape; streams we can drink from.
Wild places sustain and define us; we, in turn, must protect them.
