B&PW arts and crafts fair returns By LISA SIMPSON STRANGE Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — Organizers of the arts and crafts fair scheduled on the public square in Glasgow this Saturday are keeping their fingers crossed for sunny or, at least, merely cloudy weather.
The 31st annual Glasgow Business & Professional Women’s Club Arts & Crafts Fair is planned for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, but with a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms predicted for that day, the women who make this yearly event such an ongoing success may have to move to Plan B. If it does try to rain on this parade of booths Saturday, the fair will be relocated to Barren County High School. B&PW members Dawn Boyter and Karen Carroll are co-chairs of the event this year. “Pray for pretty skies — no rain. A sprinkle or two will be OK,” Boyter said Wednesday. There will be more than 100 booths this year, up from the total last year, according to Boyter. Some of the artwork and craft items that will be available for patrons this year will include primitives, lots of jewelry, hair bows, flip flops, personalized CDs, painted gift boxes, scarves, hats, gourd bowls, cornhole boards, fossils, pumpkins and mums to name a few. Members of the local B&PW club are planning for a large turnout and hoping the weather forecast doesn’t keep loyal shoppers away from the event. At least six different food vendors will be on hand to satisfy the appetites of people browsing the display booths this time around. They include Country Boy Barbecue, Pete’s Snacks, Tater’s Barbecue, L&M Snack Shack and a food stand will sell funnel cakes. On the entertainment side, there will be face painting, airbrush tattoos and sand art to keep all the children occupied while their parents check out the items for sale around the courthouse lawn and along the streets on the square. Funds raised during the arts and crafts fair will go toward a scholarship awarded by the club to a non-traditional student, such as a single mom going back to school, Boyter said. The next big event for the club will be the annual B&PW Bean Soup Lunch, which is scheduled for later in the fall on Nov. 20.
