Children's activities include: Pumpkin decorating contest, downtown business scavenger hunt, chalk art drawing, and other children's activities.

For the first time Sculpture Trails Outdoor Museum is bringing an extreme art experience to Linton. The Trails has created an opportunity for Linton community members to be a part of the creation of a huge relief sculpture.

Anyone attending the Fall Arts Festival this year can come by the Sculpture Trails Foundry booth and enjoy a hands-on experience by helping carve the 3 foot by 5 foot sculpture starting as a sand mold and cast into aluminum.

This sculpture will be given to the city of Linton and be on display for all to see for years to come. The museum must raise $6,000 to complete its goal and it has raised $1,500 already through friends of the museum.

If this goal is completed the Trails will provide one huge sculpture and 100 smaller ones 5"x7" for community members to carve and cast for free. They can take them home that day.
