The Batesville Area Arts Council hosted the 4th Annual Artoberfest, an arts and music festival on Main Street Saturday, October 5. The festival featured over 25 local and regional artist/maker vendors, and live music by Ed Casper, Luke Middleton, and Erin Walters. The festival also included a sidewalk chalk art competition for kids of all ages. The winners of this year’s contest for K – 6th Grade include, 1st Place: Gareth Brookshire (6th grade), 2nd Place: Easton Curtwright (5th grade), 3rd Place: Erynn Patterson (6th grade). The Junior – College age winners include, 1st Place: Donna Terrell (12th grade, BHS), 2nd Place: Brittany Myers (10th grade, Cedar Ridge) and Daycee Allen (college sophomore, UACCB), 3rd Place: Lacy Butler (11th Grade, Cedar Ridge).
