Homegrown Harvest arts festival was Thursday with student artwork from Wortham ISD lining downtown. Interactive vendors for the kids, a band, and bounce house made it a family affair to remember. The permeating smell of BBQ aided the holiday themed decor in creating the atmospheric backdrop for the event.
The central focus was the student artwork showcased by Wortham ISD. The artistry was apparent with multiple different types, sizes, and themes displayed. Parents and other attendees were welcome to purchase the student artwork while waiting for the live artwork auction to end the night.
Live music performed by Knot Today, whose ability to highlight hits from various genres kept the crowd entertained and made sure there was something to match anyone’s specific taste in music. Their stage also included Cuban American artist Rolando Diaz painting artwork to be auctioned off later in the evening. The auction proceeds are intended to benefit the Wortham High School art department. 
Several vendors were set up selling goods while others had arts and crafts available for the kids to remain involved throughout the night. From painting pumpkins to fingerprints with initials for a local nursing home, the art theme was shown throughout. A fan favorite seemed to be ‘fishing for apples’ where one could fish for an apple out of the bucket of water using a funnel.
To tie the themes all together, there was a fall themed balloon arch framed by the downtown Christmas tree for families to take photos before leaving for the night.
With the crisp, cool weather Homegrown Harvest was well attended with smiling faces taking over downtown.
