3rd annual Trussville Heritage Days set for April 1-6

TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (Trussville Tribune) — The Cahaba Homestead Heritage Foundation is getting set to host its third annual Heritage Days festival, celebrating Trussville's historic district, from April 1-6. The weeklong event will feature Alabama artists painting the historic area, the Gee's Bend Quilters, music at The Gateway, historic home tours, and more. Most events are free to the public. Heritage Days will kick off on Tuesday, April 1 with the Alabama Plein Air Artists painting scenes across the Cahaba Project neighborhood, which they will do throughout the week. Trussville will then welcome the Gee's Bend Quilters, who share a unique Great Depression origin with the Cahaba Project, for a free meet and greet at the library on Thursday, April 3 at 6 p.m. The quilters will then host a two-day quilting workshop Friday, April 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, April 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Trussville Public Library. This year, workshop participants can choose to attend Friday only, Saturday only, or both days. Tickets are $50 per workshop day. On Friday, April 4 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., country music singer/songwriters Adam Craig, Ray Fulcher, and Jordan Walker will take the stage at the Trussville Entertainment District. Maps show when allergy season will peak in Alabama Craig has written songs recorded by Jason Aldean, Dustin Lynch, Montgomery Gentry, Parmalee, George Strait, Kane Brown, and Cody Johnson, among others. Fulcher has co-written six No. 1 songs and has had more than 25 songs recorded by Luke Combs, along with cuts by Chris Young, Zac Brown Band, Riley Green, Kameron Marlowe, and Dillon Carmichael, among others. Walker, formerly of the country music duo Walker McGuire, has had songs recorded by Combs, Johnson, Brown, Cold Swindell, Jordan Davis, Trace Adkins, and Drew Baldridge, among others. He was a co-writer on the multi-week No. 1 single 'When It Rains, It Pours' by Combs, which has been certified by RIAA as a diamond single. On Sunday, April 6, attendees will have the chance to tour four unique Trussville homes–an original four-room cottage, a renovated one-story, a recently renovated two-story home on the Mall, and a new home that embraces its links to the past. The tours will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with parking and check-in at Cahaba Elementary School. Accent Limo will shuttle guests to the homes and back to parking. Tickets are $20 and are available through the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce's website here. This event will also feature two raffle basket giveaways, each totaling $500 worth of gift cards to local businesses. All tickets purchased for the home tour before April 5 are eligible to win the raffle baskets. Tickets may also be purchased at the home tour check-in table on April 6.
