At the 19th Annual Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, more than 10,000 people gathered last weekend looking at time with good friends and great music.
And with those goals in mind, Winfield had plenty to offer.
Starting Thursday, the Winfield fairgrounds were filled with crafts, food and music.
The craft displays, filling two buildings, ranged from handmade jewelry to homemade teddy bears.
Many of the artists, as well as a large part of the crowd, have been attending the festival for years.
For many people, like Michael Anderson of Junction City, the festival has become a tradition. Anderson, who has been attending for 17 years said he and his family met the same people at the same campfire
He said it was like a family reunion complete with traditions.
Anderson said that each year as they left, the group buried a horseshoe that they found at the campsite years ago. When they return to camp they wear, they dig up the place and hang it in a prominent place in camc
The weekend's activities all center on music.

Cross said he loved to come to Winfield for the diversity of the music, the chance to perform with the band and the friendly folks that he always met.

People gather and play until they have exhausted their repertoire. Then they pick up their instruments and move to a new campsite.
