What do the buttery smell of popcorn, fiddles, harmonicas, a
women’s barbershop quartet, and row after row of vendor’s booths filled with
colorful art have in common? They are all a part of the annual Summerfair in
southwest Ohio.
Early Saturday morning, my daughter and I trekked through one
of the largest art and craft shows in the country. We enjoyed meeting the
artisans and seeing the work of their hands. I appreciated that many of the
artist’s found a way to capture God’s creation on canvas or some other creative
form. Photographers, painters, jewelry makers, fiber artists found a way to
bring the beauty of the world into focus.
Every vendor invited to participate went through a juried
system. Of the one hundred plus artists, I’m posting my top ten favorites, so
you can have a taste of Summerfair, too.
