We will have vendors with their beautiful array of gourd art made with their own special techniques, supplies and raw gourds.  Kids and adults can visit the free Imagination Station to try their hand at creating their own gourd art. The Lone Star Gourd Festival brings artists from across the U.S. together to compete in a gourd art competition where the artists have transformed gourds into fine art and craft. They are carved, wood burned, woven, polished, dyed, painted and inlaid as if they were wood.  Come join the creative minds of gourd artists and be surprised at what can be done to an ugly gourd.
