One of our new vendors this year is a gentleman who does hats. And so that will be interesting to see what he’s going to be doing. We have various new oil, acrylic, and watercolor artists that will be attending this year, which is very, very good. Very often we end up with more jewelers than we do artists. And this year, it’s kind of turning the other way around. We’ve got a lot of new artists doing various and assorted different kinds of art. – Linda Dodge, Eagle Harbor Art Fair Chairperson, Copper Country Associated Artists
This year’s 63rd Eagle Harbor Art Fair features more than 60 artists from the region. Several works through mediums like oil or watercolor painting. Dodge also says that pottery art has been a popular purchase at the fair, as well as artisan jewelry.
The fire station puts on hot dogs potato chips and drinks. And then we will have a bake sale that is sponsored by the EMT, the Emergency Medical Team. And they, every year we’ll be working for something that they need. It was EpiPens one year. And this year I think it’s battery packs for their communication systems. So it’s for a very good cause. And of course, the wonderful ladies are. very good bakers in Eagle Harbor and donate all their goods. – Linda Dodge, Eagle Harbor Art Fair Chairperson, Copper Country Associated Artists
