Lisa Lynne came from California - bringing her electro-acoustic Celtic harp to play and CD’s to sell. Joined by her good friend George Tortorelli, who brought his bamboo flutes from Florida, she filled the air with New Age melodies. On the other side of the festival grounds, there was another kind of music, with the Fox Fire Boys playing and singing a rousing ver sion of the Gospel favorite, TU Fly Away." Kathleen Green came from Columbus, Ohio., with her easel, her paints, and a big collection of prints to sell. The first day of the fes tival, she said, was “her best day ever." Haley Jensen came from Wytheville, Va., to sell her framed pressed flowers, and the Thomas family came all the way from Iron River, Mich., to sell their wooden toys and crafts. “It’s the best, “ says Jan Ballew. who sells a line of homemade bread called “Our Daily Bread." Ballew, who is from Elli jay, said that she sold all her homemade sourdough bread on Saturday, and her husband got busy to bake more loaves for Sunday. In the meantime, not far from home at all, the ladies of the Perry Sogadera Club were doing a brisk busi ness, selling individual slices of pie and cake. “It’s all homemade.” Vicki Mosteller explained. And that’s at the heart of Mossy Creek’s success. At a time of mass production, this twice-a-year festival is still about the homemade, the handmade and the orig inal. According to Barbara Thomas, the exhibitors spend as much - buying each other’s work - as the festival-goers spend. John McDevitt, a college math teacher who makes dulcimers, was at the first Mossy Creek festival 21 years ago. 'That first time, I asked myself why anybody would have a festival here," he says. “The wind was blow ing hard and the rain clouds were right on top of the pines." He’s come back for every festival since then. Exhibits at Mossy Creek, limited to 150 each year, must be made up of items created by the exhibitor, with no duplications.
