4.21.07: The Folklife Festival in Livingston, AL
Weather: High Clouds, sunshine, low 80s
Ride: 20.1 miles Check out our route…
Today we rode northeast up Route 11 to Livingston, a pleasant (though hot!) route through tree farms, lumber mills, houses, and a generous sprinkling of small churches.
As we entered the town, we could hear the music flowing from the town’s main square.

The Sucarnochee Folklife Festival, an annual event held at the University of Western Alabama in Livingston, draws craftspeople from all over the region. It was a day full of good music, interesting stories and delicious local treats.
Even if people were not from York, they had a story to tell about the area. Everyone agreed that the slogans help with community spirit.
These kids sang a gospel song for us; in exchange, Bruce sang an Italian gondola song for them!
At sunset we spied the “Welcome to York” sign on our way home.
