Saturday is “Clenny Creek Day” at the historic Bryant House and McLendon’s Cabin.

Children, on their way for a dip in the cool waters of McLendon’s Creek, may have had a little trouble wrapping their tongues around “McLendon” — they just called it Clenny Creek.

The folks trying to raise enough money to restore and protect these — the oldest homes in the county on their original sites — are holding a mini-festival with music, 17th and 18th century re-enactors, and other demonstrations of the way people there lived in the 1700s.

Java Mules will be playing fiddle tunes and old-time songs, and there will be homegrown “picking and grinning” by Clyde Maness and friends.

There will be a “line and pole” auction for little ones at the “old fishing hole.”

Raffles will send some lucky visitors home with handmade quilts, a gas grill, a child’s bike, a Jugtown pitcher, a Williamsburg basket and an oil painting.

Vendors will hawk handmade wares as well

W.B. Greene, of Greene Hill Pots, is bringing pottery. Amanda Robertson of The Jewel Box will have handmade jewelry. Possum Run Garden Center will offer bedding plants and baskets. Carol Richardson will sell handpainted gourds.
