FOLK ART FAIR

The annual Door County YMCA Christmas Folk Art Fair will be held on November 20, 2011 from 9:00am to 3:00pm at the Sturgeon Bay Program Center.  The art fair will feature handmade works of art from Door County artists and fine crafts persons including watercolor paintings, jewelry, homemade candles and soaps, birdhouses, wreaths, greeting cards, mittens, scarves and more.

The art fair is a great opportunity to do some local Christmas shopping and enjoy a fabulous spread of baked goods, soups, and sandwiches, while supporting the Door County YMCA Youth in Government Program. A silent auction will also be taking place all day. Admission is $3.00 for attendee’s ages 16 and older. 

Founded in 1947, the YMCA Youth in Government is a nationwide program that provides students in grades 7^th-12^th an opportunity to experience the democratic process firsthand. Proceeds from the Folk Art Fair make it possible for Youth in Government students to attend a four-day legislative session in Madison each spring.
