SUMMARY:Loblolly Festival
DESCRIPTION:THE CANNON MOTORS LOBLOLLY FESTIVAL\n\n\nThe Loblolly Festival is held annually on the first Saturday in October and celebrates Laurel's heritage as a sawmill town.  There is no entrance fee and the festival fills the streets from 9:00 a.m.   4:00 p.m.\n\nVendors from several states\, artists\, crafters and craftsmen set up shop in the streets of downtown Laurel for this one day event. Live music of various genres can be heard throughout the day.\n\nActivities for children of all ages abound and range from free art fun to rides\, jumps and maybe even a bucking bronco!\n\nFood ranges from your first funnel cake of the fall to corn dogs\, chicken on a stick and every variety of festival food imaginable. Our lovable lumberjack\, Mr. Loblolly\, visits with the crowd and will stop for a photo op\, too!\n\nDemonstrations vary from year to year\, but a crowd favorite for sure is Dayton Scoggins\, the chainsaw artist. Dayton will be on hand selling his creations as well as demonstrating the art of chainsaw sculpture.
