Bancroft Art and Craft Show August 4th & 5th

The Bancroft Art and Craft Guild is holding their 31st annual art and craft show this week-end at Millennium Park in Bancroft.  The show is a nice size--lots of variety but not overwhelming.  The setting is lovely, the show is free to attend and there is live music/entertainment throughout the two day show.  It is open Saturday, Aug. 4th from 10 am til 6 pm and again on Sunday, Aug. 5th from 10 am til 4 pm.

As usual, the Art and Craft show dates coincide with the well-known Bancroft Rockhound Gemboree, which apparently brings upwards of 40,000 visitors to town each year!  As a young camper and later camp staffer in the area, I remember visiting some of the abandoned mines in the area.  I believe visits are still possible to these sites.

I will have a good selection of older pots along which I've marked down in price.  They are all functional pots, but for one reason or another, don't quite match what I'm making now.  Perfect pieces for the cottage!
