The Hebron Lions Club is sponsoring their first Juried Artisan and Craft Show to be held September 8-11, 2011, as part of the 41st Hebron Harvest Fair. The show runs for 3 and ½ days and offers booths for exhibitors, a Gallery and areas for artisan demonstrations.

Committee Chairs, Carol Roffey and Arlene Snyder are very pleased with the exhibitor response. Over forty well known local and regional artisans will be at the show and sale. The artisan handmade products are of a very high quality, well made and cover all price ranges. In addition, some of the participating artisans will be doing demonstrations all day in crafts, such as, woodturning, paper making, engraved plate making, weaving, spinning, chair caning, glass art, wood burning and more. A representative of Wilton Cakes will be doing cake decorating. There will be two book signings. Nationally known gourd artist Jeanne “Morningstar” Kent’s, (B.F.A., M.A., Ed.) work will be exhibited and for sale in the Gallery. Jeanne Kent will make a special appearance on Saturday afternoon to discuss her work on gourd designs and will be selling and signing her book, Gourds: Seeds of Inspiration.

Constant Waterman, illustrator and author of several adult and children’s books will be displaying his illustrations and cards in the Gallery. On Sunday, Mr. Waterman will be signing his books, The Journal of Constant Waterman, Landmarks You Must See In Southeast, Connecticut and Vincus The Invisible.

The Hebron Lions are excited about the opportunity to present these fine quality artisans to fairgoers. Fairgoers will see products being made, be able to talk with artisans and will be able to purchase handmade items.
