Unique. Beautiful. Soulful. Eclectic. Charming. If these words resonate with you, you probably appreciate finely made crafts and art. These are all words that have been used to describe works found at the Highlands Village Square Art & Craft Shows over the past 13 years.

Rotary Club of Highlands Mountaintop invites you to enjoy a weekend of art and crafts in Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park, June 23-24. More than 70 artisans will display their works for sale in this free event.

The show gives regional artists, woodturners, one-of-akind jewelry creators, blacksmiths, potters and many others the opportunity to share their unique works with the world. It also gives the public a chance to support the important art and craft traditions that make our mountain communities so vibrant.

Rotary will have drinks and Dr. John’s tacos in the park, with funds going to several worthy causes. You will also find Fressers serving food in the Village Square next door.

Bring the kids, bring the dog. There is something for everyone, including an interactive water fountain to play in. And come back for the free concert in the park at 6:00 P.M.

Plan now for the next show on August 25-26. Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park is on Pine Street at North Fifth. Hours for these free events are 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. both days, rain or shine.
