This Sunday: Amazing arts demos and shopping

Don’t miss out on the 2nd Annual Local Arts Fair, Sunday 11-3 is the final day! The clock falls back an hour, which means you have a whole extra hour in the day to visit local talent and buy local. This great event has live music by singer and harpist Angela Biggs. You can even try the harp yourself in a demonstration with Angela. Other demonstations are also going on throughout the day, including by sculptor Ernest Montenegro, potter Marthe Dyner, crochet by Suzanne Rebert, and watercolor painter Geoffrey Shepherd. Watch, ask questions, start on your holiday shopping, or just find a treat for yourself.

Below are just a few of the total of the 16 vendors that will be participating Sunday:

It looks like the Coy Paper Bridge (at Plains Rd and Lower Main St) **IS** open in time for this event. Please be aware that this main entrance to Old Church Rd will not be open, and the detour set up will take you far out of your way. You can also take Main St to Twistback Rd and connect to Old Church Rd, or take Maple Ave to Plains Rd, and bear right onto Old Church Rd.
