| 2001 Winn Fair |
The Winn Fair will be held October 6th and 7th on the grounds of the Elisha Winn House in Dacula, Georgia. Tours will be given of the Winn House, (circa 1812), the Walnut Grove School, (circa 1875), and the log jailhouse, (circa 1821). Volunteers will be at each location to conduct the tours and answer questions. Special events and demonstrations will feature crafts, the quilt show/quilt raffle, candle making, loom weaving, pottery, churning, hand tatting, and basket weaving. A blacksmith will also be at work and special music will be local blue-grass bands. There will also be food venders with delicious food and drinks. We have activities planned for all ages. Admission is $3.00 per person, children under 10 admitted free. The gates will open at 10:00 AM and close at 5:30 PM. Everyone is welcome and we would especially like to hear from Winn's descendants who plan to attend. Gwinnett Historical Society members who would like to participate in the Fair are also encouraged to give us a call, 770-822-5174. |
