By BECCA OWSLEY bowsley@thenewsenterprise.com GLENDALE — Outdoor springtime festivities will be plentiful at the 2008 Spring Fest in Glendale on Saturday. Along with shops and eateries that are typically found on the old-fashioned streets of Glendale crafts, music and more food will be in abundance this weekend. Almost 100 craft booths will be available for aficionados to peruse during the festival. Festivities will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 7 p.m. Music will be provided by Donnie Dynamite and the Dynamos, the Monarchs and the Rigbys — a Beatles celebration band. All concerts are in the park in Glendale and patrons are asked to bring a can of nonperishable food for Kentucky Harvest that will be donated to Helping Hand in Elizabethtown. Blankets and lawn chairs are also recommended for concert seating. According to organizer Mike Cummins, the event continues to grow each year and supporters are expecting a good crowd. Other attractions will be a mini-train ride throughout the town and various food booths. New to this year’s event will be a stop from the state of Kentucky’s Lincoln Bicentennial HistoryMobile helping to commemorate the Bicentennial. The traveling history exhibit features Lincoln’s life in Kentucky. A Ceilidh, Gaelic party, also will take place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the True Kentucky store in coordination with the festival events.
