Weekend arts, crafts festival scheduled

The grounds at South Jackson Civic Center will be transformed into a field of talent during the weekend of May 17 and 18 for the 35th annual Tullahoma Fine Arts and Crafts Festival.

Painters, wood crafters, glass artists, jewelry makers, potters, sculptors, textile artists and more will display and sell their creations under the shade trees while the local chapter of Society for Creative Anachronism will perform and demonstrate for the crowd. Children’s activities will entertain the younger set.

Tempting the attendees’ taste buds will be funnel cakes, blooming onions, shaved ice, fruit smoothies, nachos, Italian sausages, cinnamon roasted almonds and pecans, hot dogs, Cajun pork sandwiches, smoked turkey legs, philly cheese steak sandwiches and ice cream.

An added attraction to this year’s event will be the display of the 135th annual American Watercolor Society Traveling Exhibit at the Tullahoma Fine Arts Center. Tullahoma is the only stop in Tennessee for this national exhibit.

Hours on Saturday will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Admission is a $1 donation to the Fine Arts Center.
