A festive time at the Mad River Valley Craft Fair.
The 39th Annual Mad River Craft Fair is set to move into Kenyon’s Field for Labor Day weekend. The Valley Player’s Theatre hosts more than 100 juried artists for a fabulous craft fair under a tent or outside in a carnival type setting. Shop for handmade items from Vermont and beyond while you admire majestic mountain views. The fair offers decorative and functional items, clothing, jewelry, pottery and more. Live demonstrations and excellent food round out the offerings.
Gary will be presenting a watercolor demonstration on Sunday morning from 10:00 to noon in the main tent.

The gardens and forested area surrounding Moosewalk welcomed more than 50 visitors this past Friday, August 7, as part of the ART IN THE GARDEN tour conducted by the Vermont Festival of the Arts. Visitors started the tour with a short walk up the wooded path where they viewed evergreens, beech, silver and yellow birch and a wide variety of maple trees. On the forest floor they found six varieties of ferns and five species of ground pine. The more than 35 varieties of day lilies and a wide selection of perennials were in full bloom. Tours of the studios and gallery were also included in the visit. Moosewalk was one of six garden spots on the tour.
The tour repeats again this Thursday, August 13, and includes an outstanding lunch at Timbers Restaurant at Sugarbush. A few tickets are still available and reservations can be made by calling 802.583.2224.
