If you are looking for a weekend full of festivities, make plans now to attend the 21^st Annual Trade Days Festival, June 26^th-28^th, 2009, located at 228 Modock Rd, Trade, TN, just off Highway 421 South near the Tennessee/North Carolina State Line.  Much is offered in the way of entertainment with new exhibits and shows for 2009 and of course the Indian pow-wow.

 Donnie Freeman and his Inter-Tribal Pow-Wow will be returning this year.  Don’t miss this educational as well as entertaining and spectacular event with Native American Tribes in their native dress.  This year the pow-wow will feature competition drumming and dancing.  Kids of all ages will enjoy watching dogs doing amazing tricks and stunts in the Kountry K-9 Show.  T.J. the Clown will be strolling throughout the grounds daily, and be sure to watch as your children or grandchildren climb the National Guard Rock Wall.  The Tennessee Wildlife Exhibit will also be at the 2009 Trade Days Festival. We have two amazing new shows this year. The first features the magic of world renown magician Jimmy Dixon who has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records and for the first time in East Tennessee, the Puppetone Rockers will be here. They are a high energy, fast paced show with a positive message for young and old alike.

In the school/community center you will see quilting, quilts on display, weaving, crocheting, and more.  Inside the kitchen you will find Trade Days children making biscuits, cheese being made the old fashion way as well as butter being churned. 

Demonstrations on the grounds include the making of apple butter and lye soap, tobacco twisting, a blacksmith exhibit and the operation of hit and miss engines and antique saws.  The Historic Trade Mill is open and operating, so be sure to stop by and spend some time in the mill and visit the gift shop while you are there. They feature crafts made by people in the Trade community, Amish made jams, jelly and canned goods, hot sauce and salsa made here in the community and some old fashioned wooden toys. Throughout the grounds you will find local and Native American crafts and foods.  Please support these vendors.

There will be live entertainment on the outdoor stage daily.  The Trade Days Parade will take place on Saturday morning and on Sunday morning  there will be a Worship Service.
