BLADENSBURG — The refurbished old Bladensburg Elementary School is now the home of the Bladensburg Community Center, and will again be offering an Art & Craft Show on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The school is located at 25821 New Guilford Road.
“We are thrilled to be hosting another Art & Craft Show in Bladensburg this year,” said Kim Davidson, President of the Bladensburg Community Heritage Foundation, which operates the Bladensburg Community Center.
There will be a variety of artisans and crafters available, and organizers say there should be something that will interest just about everyone. There will also be food available for lunch, on a donation basis, through a local service group, the East Knox Lions Club, and there will be free door prizes.
The gym will be open, as well as the library, so your kids can expend their energies, as those in attendance shop in peace. Admission is free and there is plenty of free parking as well.
The event will be hosting locally-acclaimed artist Benny Hershberger, who specializes in regional Plein Air oil paintings. Something fun will be added this year will be unique and delightfully warm, hand-made mittens, repurposed from wool sweaters. Attendees can check out Kozy Mittens, too.
A number of other local artisans who have created hand-built and wheel-thrown pottery, paintings and cards, hand-woven rugs, lovely wreaths, knitted and crocheted treasures, and more.
This a great opportunity to support local artists and crafters, and fill your home or complete your gift list with hand-made items.
