- CLINT HARP STAR OF HGTV’s “FIXER UPPER”
Appearing on the Main Home Stage Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23, Harp can be found regularly on hit show HGTV’s Fixer Upper as the dumpster-diving, reclaimed wood-loving carpenter. After quitting his sales job in 2011 to pursue his dream of building furniture and owning his own company, the last thing he expected was to be a nationally known carpenter featured on HGTV. He literally met Chip Gaines at a gas station in Waco and struck up a friendship which led to his becoming the regular carpenter-wizard on Fixer Upper. His new venture with wife Kelly is Harp Design Co. providing quality furniture and home goods. Clint also stars on the DIY Network series Wood Work.
