annually draws crowds of 30,000 to 40,000
enthusiastic attendees. A tremendous variety of

All crafts are handmade and each vendor displays
unique wares. So come for the best in ceramics,
candle making, decoupage, pillows, wood crafts,
and wood carving. There are over 100 Arts &

Butter right on the site. The Salvation Army and
Lions Club have booths at the Festival, as does
