Proud to be able to sponsor our community events when possible !!

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: EASTERN TECHNOLOGIES 🌟

We’re giving a huge THANK YOU to our returning sponsor Eastern Technologies for helping keep our festival connected! 📡💻

Last year, Eastern Technologies provided the internet for the Appa-latch-un Hippy Festival, and they’re doing it again this year. They are helping us stay connected and making it easier for our vendors, staff, and festival crew to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

Community events like this don’t happen without businesses that are willing to step up and support them, and we are incredibly grateful for Eastern Technologies’ support of the Appa-latch-un Hippy Festival! 💚

Please join us in showing some love to Eastern Technologies for helping make this year’s festival possible!

🌻 Thank you, Eastern Technologies, for supporting local events, local businesses, and our community!

So sad to hear of the loss of Pineville's Mrs. Edith Asher, our entire team extends our condolences to her friends and family.

My condolences goes out to the family and many friends of Mrs Edith Asher along with the Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival and the community of the City of Pineville that is in mourning.

Edith was such a wonderful person and I am very honored to have met her and interviewed her for this past year’s KMLF.. Edith was such an iconic lady. She was full of tradition and boldness. I’m so happy to have known her.

This photo was taken at Edith’s house when I interviewed her for the KMLF. She was a fabric of the festival. She was looking at past KMLF programs that I got copies of from the Bell County Historical Society and Museum and showing me which ones she hand typed and telling me stories about her time at the festival.

I went and visited Edith at the Pineville Community Health Center to take her a copy of the KMLF special that featured her and Mrs RoseMary Combs. We talked about what Heaven was going to be like and I told her when I think of Heaven, when it’s time for a believer to come home, it is a lot like the KMLF. Everyone in Heaven is rushing and trying to have everything perfect for the homecoming. There are probably committees in Heaven that pulls it altogether for their special moment to enter the Kingdom.

Everyone that knows Edith, knows that she is probably in Heaven now leading a committee or doing a job to make sure the next believer that enters the Kingdom knows they made it home.
