The 4th Annual Boom-Fest Arts & Crafts Show was a success once again in 2013! We had over 60 vendors join us in downtown Vinton for a day full of family-friendly activities and great deals! Thanks to everyone who chose to come out and join in the fun. Vinton once again put our best foot forward and showed all of our guests a great time and welcomed them with open arms.

The weather held out for us this year and the vendors appreciated the local hospitality. Overall, it was a great addition to the main fireworks show in the evening! We look forward to growing this event even more in years to come and hope everyone can come out and help make next year just as successful as this year was!
