The Brownwood Rotary Club Arts & Crafts Show will be held on Saturday, November 10th inside the Brownwood Coliseum in downtown Brownwood. The show’s offerings are so diverse that many types of hand-crafted items will be available. Featured artisans consist of iron and metal art, hand-crafted clothing, jewelry, home accessories and much more. Fine artists will include paintings, jewelry and pen & ink drawings. Several crafters will offer selections of home-made candles, soaps, lotions and food items.
Local favorite Stella Tinkler has developed several beautiful new techniques for her decorative gourds that she is anxious to show her fans. According to Tinkler, “Some are embellished with pine needle coiling while others have fret-work carving and gold leaf. I hope everyone likes them.” Another returning favorite is the Goats’ Milk Soap Man, Arvel Boatner who sells goats’ milk soaps, lotions and other unique skin care products. Boatner stated, “I’ve been in the Brownwood show for about 7 or 8 years.” He continued, “I do shows almost every weekend of the year and I do this one because I love the town and the folks who put on this show are so great to work with.”
The Brownwood Rotary Club has announced that the show proceeds will benefit their Dictionary Project—in which every third-grade student in Brown County receives their own Student Dictionary. Additional funds (if any) are distributed as scholarships to local graduating high school students.
Admission is $2 for adults 12 and over. For more information, go to the Chamber’s website: www.brownwoodchamber.org or call the Arts & Crafts Show Chairman Laura Terhune at 325-646-9535.
