A quick report from the road

Unfortunately, this page is not available for free online.

I am still working on being able to afford a laptop, so I am writing this post with my iPhone Blogger app, and still figuring it out.

Therefore, this will be short, with only one picture (haven't been to any shows yet).

I have traveled to Northwest Arkansas, in part to see some of the many art and craft fairs going on this weekend.

There are LOADS of them! One of the oldest, the War Eagle Fair, actually is listed on the local newspaper's special map spread as three different shows.

The photo shows the map, which was compiled and published by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.*

My husband is working with our friend Randal Spangler at the Bella Vista Arts and Crafts Festival, in another cluster of events listed on the map.

In all, the map lists about two dozen different events.

I hope to return with photos, links, and wonderful artists to feature in future posts. Stay tuned! (Updated 10/24/2012)
