The 2024 Barnes Antique & Junque Fest is set for Saturday, August 17th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Fest will host multiple vendors, great food, kids inflatables, and more in the Center Street Business District.
Deb Kruse and Melodie Sedivy are organizers of the Annual Junque Fest. Sedivy said this event came up after losing Threshing Bee.
On top of the multiple vendors many local businesses will be open including the Always Christmas Shoppe, Hometown Café, and more. Kruse said this event is an easy, fun atmosphere. There will also be an added entertainment that they are very excited about.
Sedivy said it is recommended that attendees bring lawn chairs for the show, as seating is limited. Free-will donations will be accepted to help offset costs for having the Peterson Farm Brothers.
Vendors are still welcome to sign up for this fun event. Kruse said to arrive early so you don’t miss out on some unique treasures. To sign up as a vendor or to get more information on this year’s Junque Fest call Deb at 785-763-4310 or Melodie at 785-562-7393.
