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 under. 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.
