Description of Event:
Hard Times Festival is a time the former coalmining town pays tribute to the great American spirit of strength, faith and survival. Hartshorne recalls the Great Depression years of the 1930's. Hard Times Festival activities run the gamut from outhouse relay races to a period-style fashion show, and cheap eats are a big part of the day. Gangsters such as Bonnie and Clyde prowl, hoboes panhandle and people in period dress rub shoulders with itinerant preachers, street performers like the incomparable Hotsy Totsy Girls, unemployed men, newsboys, farmers, coalminers and 5-cent shoeshine boys along Pennsylvania Avenue, Hartshorne's main street, which owes it's accommodating width to the days when a streetcar rumbled back and forth from nearby McAlester. Arts and crafts, a quilt show, mule-drawn wagon rides, a rock contest, 1930s hat display, apron exhibit, bonnet display, canned goods display, square dancers, antique tractors, vintage cars, old fashioned games and high spirited contests will lend to Depression era feel. Country, blue grass, gospel, and blues music will be performed by local artists and guest performers throughout the day. Hartshorne High School Marching Band, clad in overalls, will keep toes tapping. Hartshorne is a little town with a big heart and never is that more obvious than in October when the community comes together to pull off a big party called Hard Times Festival.Information:
