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.
