Bert's Kitchen was dishing out porkchop sandwiches and grilled chicken on Sunday. Stefanie Lynch said her father started the local family business 38 years ago.
"We've become really popular here with our food, the chops are amazing, we make our own sauce," Lynch said. "It's been busy, our weather has been great. We couldn't ask for a better weekend.
"This is our big festival."
On Sunday, Harvest Homecoming held an Inclusion Time from 11 a.m. to noon for attendees averse to crowds or people with mobility issues. Vendor booths until around 5 p.m.
Jason Wright, owner of The Funkey Junk Meister, had a booth at Harvest Homecoming for the second year. The Corydon man is a metal artist who creates sculptures and home accent pieces.
"Finding the material, a lot of auctions and sales, a lot of it is looking at something and deciding what I'm going to make out of it," Wright said. "Sometimes it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down before I forget it."
Wright said he has a lot of followers in the area who visit the booth at Harvest Homecoming.
In celebration of its 87th anniversary, Schmitt Furniture in New Albany held a free concert featuring The Skinny and The Juice Box Heroes at the New Albany Riverfront Amphitheater on Saturday.
