The Gathering: The “New Kid on the Block” a Hit
Was it at the expense of the Annie Oakley Festival?
By Bob Robinson
“I can’t believe all the people who came today,” said one exhibitor on
Saturday. He was one of dozens, including artists and concessioners,
who were enjoying high traffic flows at The Gathering at Garst in
Greenville. Brief moments were few and the exhibitors took advantage of
them by sitting down and resting on the hot, humid day. This was the
first year for a planned annual event by Garst Museum featuring

The Limit To Foolishness on Television
