This year’s Logan Arts and Film Festival is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th from 1-7 p.m. on Carrico Park Square in Russellville.  As in past years, the festival offers live music, crafters and artists, free kids’ activities, great food, and a chance to view independent films. 

The Logan County Arts Council is excited to announce that this year the film showings will take place at the same time and location as the rest of the festival.  The Logan County Democrats have graciously offered the use of their building on Main Street so that patrons of LAFF can enjoy both the unique film selections as well as the art and live music on the square.
