My friend Tess and I have been attending this art show for several years now. Sadly, we missed last year due to personal conflicts, but were able to plan ahead and meet up again for 2008. The Art Show is held on the grounds of historic Glensheen Mansion (or Congdon Mansion as the locals know it) so not only are there a plethora of vendors to admire, but you get to wander the grounds and gardens of this beautiful estate.
So far we have been super fortunate and the weather has always been cooperative. It was a bit warmish this year, about 90* and humid, and the big dark clouds seemed to pass by to drop their rain else where. This year we also noticed a significant increase in vendors and a couple of people demonstrating their craft, which makes it even more festive and fun.
The vendors range from photography, jewelry, metal working, hats (quilted, felted and knitted), handmade bags, soaps, woodworking, glass work, pottery, paintings and I can't recall what else. We spend about two two and a half hours wandering around, partaking of an ice cream cone part way through and then call it a day.
I picked up some homemade soap from one of my favorite soap vendors (from Pequot Lakes) and a new purse. Happy me!
