Photos: Hundreds Enjoy Williams Station Day In Atmore
October 25, 2009
Hundreds from across South Alabama and Northwest Florida enjoyed Williams Station Day Saturday in Atmore.
Did we take a photo of you or one of your friends at Williams Station Day? Click here for a photo gallery.
Williams Station Day takes its name from Atmore’s early history when in 1866 the community was a supply stop along the Mobile and Great Northern railroad.
Festival-goers were entertained by a wide variety of musical acts — from blues to classic rock. A wide variety of arts and crafts were also available.
In the Storytelling Tent Paula Larke (pictured left), nationally renowned performer/lecturer utilized her music, poetry, and stories of real life heroes and “she-roes.” She was joined by magician Gary Ledbetter, a terrific entertainer who has performed magic nationally and internationally.
In the Fiddler’s Tent, Winkie Hicks’ Frontier Bluegrass Group performed an all-day jam session. Other venues included a children’s art village, pony rides, hay rides, the Williams Station “Express,” a pumpkin painting and carving contest, and a car show.
The Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway also had a locomotive available for tours and plenty of horn-blowing fun for the children.
