Southern Highland Craft Guild - The Craft Fair

The Craft Fair

The Craft Fair produced by the Southern Highland Craft Guild started in 1948 and six decades later is a tradition. More than two hundred craftspeople fill two floors of the Civic Center twice each year. Local musicians play live on the arena stage; craft educators share their knowledge with adults and children alike through demonstrations and hands-on projects. Eleven thousand visitors from all over the country participate in festivities during the four days of the show. Over the course of the event, nearly a million dollars are invested in the purchase of crafts.

Famous quotes containing the words craft and/or fair:

    In my craft or sullen art
    Exercised in the still night
    When only the moon rages
    And the lovers lie abed
    With all their griefs in their arms,
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “He neither shall be christened
    In white wine or red,
    But with fair spring water,
    With which we were christenèd.”
    —Unknown. As Joseph Was a-Walking (l. 17–20)
