Abstract:
Blackburn discusses the Wendell Harvest Festival, which is held in the town each year in early October. The regionally famous festival began in the early 1900s when tobacco was king in Wendell and the surrounding area. Today the festival is as much about the present as the past, celebrating the importance of tobacco and farming to Wendell's heritage as well as celebrating the present-day culture and life of the community.
