The Butterfly Festival at the Fly Arts Center in Shelbyville featured plenty of arts and crafts along with music and some nature. 200 butterflies were released in the morning and a butterfly exhibit was present the remainder of the day. I was able to buy some bread and dog deodorizer while there. The crowd had dispersed by the time I got there around noon, but I hope the festival catches on and grows. The Fly Arts building has become the artistic center of Shelbyville. With a theater that offers good community productions and art exhibitions, the former factory has established itself as bringing the arts to a rural area. There is a small museum of Bedford County artifacts in one hall that is showing an impressive number of arrow heads right now. The Butterfly Festival also featured butterfly photography. I recently saw a production of The Crucible at the Fly and was very impressed with the quality for a small community theater. The Fly really puts in an impressive effort at continuing to grow.
