COLUMBIA, MO. -- Mid Missourians went back in time this weekend for the 34th annual Heritage Festival and Craft Show.

Artisans were selling all kinds of fun stuff like quilts, wood carvings, and other handmade gifts at Nifong Park.

Kids even had some fun activities to pick from like milking a cow---artists were also on hand to make personal drawings for them.

"It’s been a very good festival,” artisan Betty Hallows said.  “We did not expect much this year because of the weather conditions. It turned out very well, much better yesterday than we thought.  We got rain off and on during the day but we were still able to sell."

Tours of the historic Maplewood Home and the Walter’s Boone County Historical Museum were also a big draw.
