Dillsboro\u2019s Front Street Arts & Crafts Show will once more feature work from some of the region\u2019s best artisans at its 7th annual free arts show. More than 40 booths will display the handmade works of regional fine artists and fine crafters, and entertainers will perform songs and dances appropriate for the entire family. The daylong event begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 16, and runs through 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur local artisans will be waiting to share their stories with you along with their wares,\u201d says the event\u2019s planner Brenda Anders. \u201dSome of the best handmade and homemade products will line the street!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cloverwing Studio owner Pamela Judson, from Webster, will offer a selection from her metal, polymer, wood and resin jewelry and upscale art. All profits are donated to the National Wildlife Federation\u2019s Butterfly Highway project to restore habitat.<\/p>\n

\u201cCloverwing Studio\u2019s art reflects a love for the natural world,\u201d says Judson. \u201cMany pieces are inspired by the pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, and the native wildflowers they depend on.\u201d
\nOther participants include Moonshine Mountain\u2019s Lori Wright offering handmade candles, and Don Wood, from Sylva, who creates sourwood honey products. Mickey Sizemore, from Cullowhee, will have a host of cobweb brooms for sale as he demonstrates how he makes them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are thinner than regular household size and you can use them, as the name implies, to remove cobwebs and other things from places you may not be able to reach using a regular broom,\u201d says Sizemore. \u201cPlus, they look pretty cool too.\u201d
\nFood vendors and local restaurants will offer a variety of drinking and dining options during the festival. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad train arrives at 2:15 p.m. bringing visitors from Dillsboro to join the fun.<\/p>\n

The Front Street Arts and Crafts Show is free to attend; however, a small parking fee that includes a shuttle from Monteith Park to the festival, applies. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome. For more information, call 828.506.8331, or go to VisitDillsboro.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Live Entertainment<\/strong>
\n11 a.m. \u2014 The J. Creek Cloggers, a high-energy dance team based in Haywood County, will dance on the street. The group keeps alive the old mountain traditions of clogging, audience participation square dances and broom dances.
\n12 p.m. and 1 p.m. \u2014 Suzie Copeland presents pop song selections from many eras during her remarkably versatile live vocal performance with percussion.
\n2 p.m. \u2014 We Three Swing, a jazz collective based in Sylva, performs all styles of jazz, including Latin, funk and arrangements of pop classics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
