MARK YOUR CALENDARS: ANNUAL ART AND CRAFT FESTIVAL ON JULY 21st & 22nd
The annual NEPAS Art and Craft Festival will be held on July 21st and 22nd from 10 am to 5 pm at the Wallenpaupack High School in Hawley.
This festival is our primary fundraiser for scholarships, and will include 3 wildlife shows daily with live birds, animals, and reptiles, and will provide great entertainment and education for all ages. Best of all, though, are nearly 100 artists and craftspersons presenting their creations for show and sale, making this event a perfect place to stock up on gifts and items for the home.
NEPAS and other organizations will have education booths, there’ll be a craft table for children, and lunch will be available in the cafeteria. Admission is only $5 for adults, with children under 12 free.
It’s a great event for the whole family, and our proceeds make it possible for our camp and college scholarships to be awarded to deserving young people. Visit http://www.audubonfestival.com/ for more information.
