The Meadows of Dan Community Association invites everyone to the 21st Annual Folk Fair on Saturday, August 16, beginning at 10 a.m. The event will stretch from Meadows of Dan Baptist Church to the Meadows of Dan Community Center.
As in previous years, the day will begin with local craftsmen selling their wares, including jewelry, wooden and metal crafts, and more. Windy Ridge Cattle Company will be on-site with meat for sale.
For book lovers, a group of local authors will attend to sell their books and meet readers.
“It’s never too early to start planning for Christmas,” organizers said, “and what better way than by purchasing gifts from local artisans?”
Outdoor Entertainment will provide inflatables for children, allowing parents to shop and browse the fair more freely.
New this year, Villa Appalachia will be offering tastings of its locally produced wines.
