The annual Forkland Festival was held this weekend. Members of the Forkland community past and present, and any others out for some good weekend fun in the knobs, enjoyed food, participated in a silent auction, remembered old times and celebrated the Boyle County community’s long history during the Saturday event at the Forkland Community Center.
