EVENTS & FESTIVALS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Annual Events Cycle

The first public event of the year is the Spring Porch and Bake Sale. This sales promotion is usually scheduled to occur around St. Patrick’s Day. At these sales, people can get a great deal on non-juried and student crafts, seconds, and more. This year's event begins on March 13.

The Appalachian Arts Craft Center’s Annual Gala and Silent Auction fundraiser is also held in the spring each year. This is a fun event with wonderful music, excellent food, socializing, and an opportunity to purchase beautiful handmade crafts, fine arts, services, and other goodies. The date for the 2010 gala is Saturday, March 20, at the Norris Community Building.

The center also hosts its annual Plant Sale in the spring (2010 date to be determined). Local plants that do well in this area will be for sale at very reasonable prices.

The Center also holds a Fall Porch and Bake Sale similar to the spring event. In 2010 the Fall Porch Sale starts October 9.

Our Holiday Open House is held the weekend after Thanksgiving. In 2010, the Open House is scheduled for November 26-28. Stop by for some holiday goodies and wonderful gift shopping.
