Piecemakers Craft Fairs 2008 |
![]()
|
Saturday
morning (or a magical Friday evening for the December fair) starts
early with 100 of the finest hand crafts vendors in the United States,
apple pie and the sweet music of the Piecemakers Singers. The food
keeps people coming back show after show; then add to that, the live
country music, story telling and a bounce house - it's an event for the
whole family. The show at a glance, is a quick look at some of the
craft vendors, visitors and friends.
Below, are pictures from the October and December fairs in 2008. If you are in the area, or can make plans to be, join us for one of the fairs for 2009! |
