Ichthus Event in Jeopardy

(Jessamine County, Ky) - Many people are familiar with, and and perhaps have attended the Icththus Festival in central Kentucky, but its future is now uncertain. The festival has been a yearly event for more than 40 years now, but Icththus CEO Mark Vermillion says the 110 acre farm that has been their home is now for sale. After the Jessamine County farm was put up for sale, Vermillion says they quickly raised more than $20,000 through Facebook alone. However, he says they still need between $50,000 and $100,000 dollars. The group says they will make a public announcement on the festival's future on September 14th.
