2017 “Been going since the 80’s and I have always enjoyed the concerts down by the river.” JASON MCCARTHY Clarksville “I love everything about it. I love to see all the neat crafts and the different things that people are selling. Obviously food is number one – always love to get the dumplings. But it really speaks volumes to our city. It shows that we all come together and everyone enjoys it. My kids – they’re 9, 6 and 3 – my younger kids love the rides, and as they get older, they start to enjoy the food as well as the rides and facepainting. Meanwhile, me as an adult, I love to see old friends I haven’t seen in years.” STEPHANIE FORTNER New Albany “This will be my second year and I think it’s a great thing for the community.”There is always a very diverse crowd and it brings a lot of foot traffic to the area.” REECEE FROM UNDERGROUND CLASSIC CUTS Louisville “I’ve been going to Harvest Homecoming on and off for 25 years and I always love the concerts they have.” “I love the music and I also get to see people I haven’t seen in years.” FRANKIE MOLET New Albany “This will be my second time returning to Harvest Homecoming.
