📣 Exciting News for the Fluorspar Festival! 📣

On June 15, 2026, Fluorspar Festival Chairman Stephanie Hayes had the opportunity to speak with WPSD 6 for an interview highlighting the return of the 62nd Annual Hardin County Fluorspar Festival.

The interview focused on the incredible journey our community has taken to bring this beloved tradition back to life. What began as the disappointment of a festival cancellation quickly transformed into an inspiring story of determination, teamwork, and community pride. Volunteers, local businesses, sponsors, committee members, and residents from across Hardin County have come together with one goal—to ensure the Fluorspar Festival not only continues but grows stronger than ever.

During the interview, Stephanie shared how this year’s festival has been built through countless volunteer hours, community support, fundraising efforts, and a shared commitment to preserving one of Hardin County’s most treasured traditions. The story is not just about a festival; it’s about a community that refused to let a 62-year legacy fade away.

We wanted to share our appreciation! They did a wonderful job! Our story aired earlier this week.
Keep watching the WPSD 6 Page for their official story.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort. Every volunteer, sponsor, vendor, donor, and community member has played a part in bringing the festival back. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you October 8–11, 2026, in Rosiclare!

💜 Together, we’re proving that when a community comes together, amazing things can happen.
