The 17th annual event presented by the Pinellas Historical Society featured traditional folk, gospel, country and bluegrass musical groups and a variety of activities, including an embroidery and rug hooking show, blacksmithing demonstration, historical house tours, display of antique cars, traditional craft demonstrations and more.
 The music of The Earthlings, above, attracted a crowd at the recent Pinellas Folk Festival in Largo. The two folk singers were among the many entertainers who performed on the Log Cabin stage at Heritage Village during the event. The Earthlings were followed by storyteller Billie Noakes. Over 35 performances were scheduled on various stages throughout the park .
