There are some notable changes among the 80 listings in today's Times Free Press guide to fall festivals and fairs.

The 150th anniversary of the Civil War's Battle of Chickamauga has produced four new September events that are one-chance-only opportunities. The South will rise again in Fort Oglethorpe and Chickamauga, Ga., over the weekends of Sept. 14-15 and 20-21 as more than 10,000 re-enactors and 30,000 spectators are expected for the anniversary commemoration.

The Nillie Bipper Arts and Crafts Festival is calling it a day in Cleveland, Tenn., and won't return this year after a 45-year run. Spokesman John Simmons says decreasing attendance and increasing difficulty in finding volunteers to staff it led to the decision.

The Appalachian Celtic Festival and Highland Games is moving its heritage festival from Labor Day weekend to Sept. 21, and Benton Arts and Heritage Day is consolidating its events from two days to one on Oct. 26.

Hodgepodge, a 40-year tradition on Signal Mountain, also is changing its dates. When Hodgepodge began, its organizers chose the first Friday and Saturday of October so it would be the first festival of each fall season. The fact that it's now lodged squarely in the middle of the fall festival schedule is evidence on how festivals have grown in popularity. But after seeing its Friday attendance decline over the past three years, organizers decided to move Hodgepodge to the first Saturday and Sunday in October. And that's not its only new feature.

"We are adding a Marketplace this year, opening it to a limited amount of vendors who will have work that's more gift item than handmade," says Barb Storm, executive director of the Mountain Arts Community Center.

Hodgepodge as the center's largest fundraiser of the year, she says, annually drawing between 1,500 to 2,000 shoppers.

"We are also adding an entertainment stage, more food vendors and expanding our children's activities," she adds.

Keep the festival guide handy as a good resource for family fun in coming weeks. All 80 events in today's guide are within a two-hour drive of Chattanooga, many in scenic outdoor settings.
