8-13: White Oak Craft Fair returns to the Arts Centers

WOODBURY — Situated along the Stones River among the beautiful rolling hills of Cannon County, the 16th annual White Oak Craft Fair is expected to attract record crowds on August 13th and 14th. The juried event celebrates the traditions of split white oak basketmaking and chairmaking that have earned Woodbury, Tennessee the title of “Basketmaking Capital of Appalachia.”

This summer fair takes place on the grounds of the Arts Center and inside its air-conditioned auditorium, just west of the Town of Woodbury on Highway 70-S (John Bragg Hwy). It is free and open to the public from 9AM to 5 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Supervised parking is provided with a $2.00 donation going to the Woodbury Lions Club.

The White Oaks Craft Fair is sponsored by the Cannon Association of Craft Artists and is made possible in part by the Tennessee Arts Commission. For more information call 1-615-563-2787 or 1-800-235-9073.
