The 34th Annual Portal Catface Country Turpentine Festival, slated for Saturday, Oct. 3, will feature a performance by 2015 Georgia Music Awards Country Male Artist of the Year Justin Dukes, as well as the traditional street dance, festival attractions and, of course, plenty of turpentine. The annual festival celebrates Portal’s rich agricultural heritage that includes the production of turpentine. The E.C. Carter still, located in the heart of the small North Bulloch County town, is one of the last three working turpentine stills in the state.
