The Jonquil Festival returned after a 2 year hiatus for COVID and was a big hit judging by the Saturday crowds.  Vendors reported a good day Friday despite windy, cool, and overcast conditions.  On Saturday, it looked like someone opened a gate and let a big crown in!  The weather was perfect and thousands came to shop with the vendors, tour the historic structures, enjoy festival food, and listen to music.  Musicians included the Night Hawk Bank while Eley Talley and Gary Funderburk were seen playing music at Williams Tavern.
