The event is widely known for its bean supper and drama on opening night and it features the Fox & Hound Race, one of Kentucky’s most unique fall festival foot races.

The Center features the Old Country Supper Theatre and the Forkland Abraham  Lincoln & Community Center Museum, which highlights the connection of Lincoln’s grandmother - Lucey Shipley Hanks Sparrow - to the community.
