 
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting our Mountain State Art & Craft Fair web site. Whether you're a first-time visitor, or if you've been to the website to get information in years past, there's lots of the new information in each section about this year's fair.
Our theme “A Tradition Worth Holding On To” speaks to the mission of our event. Our fair guests have the opportunity to watch as exhibitors demonstrate their skills and take home some of the Appalachian region's finest artisan products. In some cases guests are able to try their own hand at crafting a memory from raw materials. Our entertainment is reminiscent of days gone by and promises to bring back or make new memories for young and old alike. There are plenty of activities for the young and the young at heart as well!
We invite you to come spend one day or all three days with us! There will be plenty of hay bales to provide a resting spot and something for all of our guests at the 2010 Mountain State Art and Craft Fair – “A Tradition Worth Holding On To.”
