From the
Huron Chamber of Commerce
It’s not often that you can find a fun-filled, fall
event that is a great hit with children and their parents, as well. Set for Saturday, October 11, from 11 a.m. to
5 p.m., the 4th annual Huron River Art Fest features lots of works
by talented Ohio artisans and the 7th annual Pumpkin Festival will include:
Jungle Bob’s Reptile Show (3 p.m.), a Midway of Magic (4 p.m.), a scarecrow
decorating contest and a children’s craft tent, hosted by Just Like Home
Childcare.
The highlight of the day is the Barnes Nursery
Pumpkin Drop at 2:30 p.m. With the help
of a 55 ft. high bucket crane, the huge orange vegetables are instantly
transformed into nothing more than a squishy SPLAT.
The Huron River Art Fest, sponsored by the Huron
Chamber of Commerce, draws artisans from around Ohio, and as far away as Texas,
to share their treasures, which include glass mosaics, hand-thrown pottery,
decorative knot bracelets, silver spoon gift items, handmade soaps and lotion
and hand-dyed and recycled yarns.
Huron native, Jeff Ulrich, has become a well-known
artist in the Columbus area, creating all types of nautical pieces, many made
from driftwood collected at local beaches. They are difficult to explain, but pleasing to
the eye.
Each of the artists has donated one of their creations
for a giant raffle. A vintage
commemorative Christmas ornament will be given to each person purchasing raffle
tickets by the Huron Chamber of Commerce.
Gourmet coffee, cider and doughnuts, along with
other food items will be available throughout the day.
