Petey's Place
Petey was the Sheperd's dog. Everyone who has visited the Shepherd home has met Petey. He was born on February 14, 1994 and he passed away in the Spring of 2008. Petey was very mild-mannered and was well-deserving of being named the mascot of the Carolina in the Fall Festival. Petey spent his days with Festival Producer Robert Shepherd and together they looked after the Shepherd Farm and the Carolina in the Fall Festival site. Petey's Place, in honor and memory of Petey is a spot for children of ages to enjoy. We would like to invite all of the children to come and have fun.

In Petey's Place Children's Area, special activities and performances are scheduled for children of all ages. Everything in Petey's Place is free and the activities include: storytime, face painting, arts and crafts activities, games, and special performances by festival musicians!

April Johnson, a certified elementary school teacher, is Coordinator of Petey's Place Children's Area and is taking care of all activities, so make sure to stop by Petey's Place with your children.
