Some of the artisans included one-of-a-kind jewellery, hand made designs, clothing and so much more….below stunning bowls crafted by Michael Sbrocca Woodturning…
Who says homemade instruments can’t sound great?
Windows need not be boring…
And neither do birdhouses!
With Halloween’ just around the corner, why not stock up on some cool crafts for the festivities?

Folks sat around on picnic tables soaking up the sun, having a bite and enjoying the country inspired music…
Some even got up and danced!
