About This Walk
**Watch this space for updates closer to the event. Will also post here in case meeting time or place updates during the day.** Please email me at annbarber40@hotmail.com and put “WWPW Clinton” in the subject line. I have a street walking map, parking info, the Antique Fair scheduling and info about Clinton to email – too much info to include here! I won’t SPAM your email but can update you with up to date changes in the week before the event.
This is a 3.5 hour walk open to everyone, whether you are a hobbyist, a working pro, or someone who simply enjoys taking photos. ANY thing with a camera is perfect for this event, from your phone to minicam, action camera, DSLR, or mirrorless. Bring a friend or family member and challenge them to find photo ideas too! The NEW renovated downtown area is full of color and personality, and will have people and small town scenes to take photos of. Try to focus on wide scenes or isolated areas as well as close up details. There are only a few blocks in the area (small town!) but still lots to see, and easy to park & walk. Clinton is known for antiques and unique findings, and this is a popular annual festival event that brings in huge crowds. There are also nearby areas like parks and a river walkway for different scenes.
We can meet up again at noon to eat/drink and compare stories/photos. I made the walk longer in case some would prefer to come later! You can stay the whole time or leave earlier than 2:00 pm. There will be vendors and eateries open if you’d like to take a refreshment break anytime. Remember that photos you enter in the photo contests for the event need to be taken within this time frame.
It’s tomorrow!October 2nd, 2026
I sent an email to folks that sent me their email address, with festival info like where to park, area history and nearby interesting points, and a walking map. email me at annbarber40@hotmail.com today if you didn’t get it. I will have a few printouts tomorrow too. If you need to contact me tomorrow, my cell is 865-466-6168. Hopefully can hear the phone with all the people at the festival, lol.
