(Dr. Dentith) FOLK LIFE Festival will be held this weekend at the Institute of Texas Cultures in Hemisphere Park. The Texas Folklife Festival was modeled after the Smithsonian’s Folklife Festival, which was held in Washington, D.C. in 1968. On behalf of the Institute of Texan Cultures (which was built as part of the Texan Pavilion for the 1968 World’s Fair), O.T. Baker attended the first Smithsonian Folklife Festival and returned home with big plans—to replicate the event in San Antonio. And the wheels were set in motion. This year is the 40th year of the event. http://www.texancultures.com/festivals_events/tff_home/ Hours are: Friday, June 10, 5pm - 11pm; Saturday, June 11, 11am - 11pm and Sunday, June 12, Noon - 7pm Adult (13 ) $10 in advance, $12 at the gate Child (6-12) $5 in advance, $5 at the gate Children 5 and under are FREE
