Exchange Place — Attraction in Kingsport

Was there for the plant sale. Didn't realize there were crafts vendors as well - was expecting plants galore... there were plants but not like I was hoping for - this was ok. I was putting a few flowers into a straw carrier and a man selling the Calibrachoa came up to me and was very intrusive, very rude. He told me to stop pulling the pots apart... (I have been buying and planting these very hardy flowers for decades - haven't harmed one yet.) I put each one back - wouldn't buy from this guy if he was the last person with flowers on earth! & his little pots were $5.00 a piece.

Recreations of activities and games, etc. that would have been done/played at that time. Usually have live music and craft/food vendors during festival weekends. Livestock and vegetable garden. Blacksmith and General store. Run by volunteers who are very knowledgable and dedicated. Kids adore going here. Small entrance fee for adults (kids free). Funfest summer festival is...
