The Portal Heritage Society will hold its 35th Annual Catface Country Turpentine Festival Saturday, Oct. 1, bringing food, crafts vendors, kiddie rides and a great deal of history for visitors to enjoy. The day begins with a parade through town at 10 a.m., with Kay Newton as grand marshal. Following the parade, the old E.C. Carter turpentine still will be fired up; the still is one of only three in the state that remains operable.
