MOUNTAIN STATE ART AND CRAFT FAIR JULY 3-6 The Mountain State Art and Craft Fair (MSACF) will take place July 3-6, 2002, Wednesday through Saturday, from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. at Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley, W.Va. Since 1963, the Fair has provided a showcase for the state’s premier artisans and their work. More than 200 of the finest crafters, artists and musicians are scheduled to attend this year’s Fair, which is considered by many to be the “granddaddy” of art and craft events in West Virginia. “What is really special about this event is the quality of the items exhibited and the fact that artists demonstrating how their work is created,” said MSACF President Jean Smith. “All of the artists are selected by a jury process, ensuring that all exhibitors are accomplished in their fields. In addition to the artist displays, MSACF features plenty of great food, from barbecue chicken dinners to homemade ice cream. There are also plenty of attractions for the kids, including a petting zoo, hands-on crafting stations, storytellers and musicians. “It’s a great way for the entire family to spend a day,” said Smith. “The location is very scenic, with a gorgeous lake and hills in the background. Plus, the grounds are flat and accessible to everyone.” For more information, contact 1-800-CALL-WVA, or visit www.msacf.com.
