On August 6th and 7th, the Moutardier Recreation Area at Nolin River Lake and Nolin Lake State Park will once again host the Rex Hurt Memorial NolinFest.
This year’s festival is filled with exciting events for all ages including fireworks, food, live bands, children’s activities, dancing, demonstration booths, an antique tractor show, a variety of vendors, and much more.
“We’ve got a great line-up this year.” said Glenna Black, President of the Friends of Nolin River Lake, the nonprofit group organizing this year’s event. “We’re excited at the opportunity that people have to enjoy all these activities right by the lake. There’s something for everyone.”
“The 2010 NolinFest is a great chance for people to visit the lake, enjoy a lot of great food, music, and activities,” said Chris Boggs, Park Manager with the Corps of Engineers at Nolin River Lake. “The Friends of Nolin have worked hard to organize NolinFest, and most of the activities they have scheduled are free to everyone. If you’re not there, you’re missing out.”
