Here's a first for our resorts! Hidden Valley has teamed up with Touchstone Center for Crafts to bring us this celebration. According to the web site "November 7 and 8 will feature interactive art demonstrations, arts and fine crafts exhibitors, children's workshops, live music, and great food."

What makes this different than a regular "craft show" is the input from Touchstone Center for Crafts. When originally founded in 1972 their mission was to ‘foster interest in the preservation of traditional mountain crafts." That's where the demonstrations including metal working, blacksmithing, pottery, and painting come into the event. They have expanded their class offerings to include more modern arts and crafts. Check out their class schedules.

Kelly, a good friend of ours is very excited to be demonstrating and hopefully selling her hand made glass bead jewelry.  Here's a picture of her working the glass! Check out the Hidden Valley site for a list of artists and crafters.

This should be an awesome weekend to enjoy the mountain activities especially with the Steelers playing on Monday! There will be chairlift, pony, and horse-drawn wagon rides for all to enjoy! Food wise you'll have a great selection! The open fire pit will offer smoked beef brisket, Mountain Jambalaya, oyster stew, grilled bourbon barbecue salmon and barbequed turkey legs. 

See you there and remember to post about your experience!
