Jay Peanut Festival Attracts Thousands
October 5, 2008
Thousands of people attended the 19th Annual Jay Peanut Festival this weekend at Gabbert Farm in Jay.
The festival featured something fun for everyone including arts and crafts, antiques, inflatable rides, rock climbing wall, pony rides, hay rides, train rides and much more. The Gabbert’s 1930’s Farm Museum was also open for tours.
There was plenty of food available…kettle corn, BBQ, hamburgers, roasted corn, apple dumplings and more.
And, of course. peanuts were the star of the festival, and this year there were plenty of green peanuts and boiled peanuts as well as fried, roasted and candied peanuts.
The event is dedicated to the memory of Melissa Caroline Gabbert, who died of cancer in 1990.
