I was walking through the craft store the other day when I noticed they had put out their fall silk flowers. You know what that means...that's right... Halloween is just around the corner! It won't be long before the pumpkins are ripe and witches and
ghosties start popping up all over. It also means that my craft show is fast
approaching!
Last year was my first year at the Hay Creek Fall Festival and it was such fun, I signed up to do it again this year. It is a juried 3 day show that takes place at Johanna Furnace just outside Morgantown PA. This year, the dates are Friday, Saturday and Sunday Sept 5,6 &7 2008. The festival is open 10am to 5pm. On Saturday and Sunday, they have a Pancake breakfast from 7-10 am that is really yummy!

The Hay Creek Festival celebrates Early American Life at the Joanna Furnace located just off of Rt 10 north of
Morgantown PA (about 3 miles from the PA turnpike) so it is really easy to find.
On top of all the
juried crafts, there will be early American craft demonstrations like weaving, spinning, black
smithing etc, Civil war encampments and military displays. They have a whole section on old hit or miss engines too - really neat! Traditional folk music and great food all day every day - they even cook in cast iron cauldrons over open fires!

Parking is free with a shuttle that runs from 7am to 6pm. I will post my space number as soon as they tell me what it is. I will be easy to find though - just look for all the orange and black stuff :) I usually have larger items that are more difficult to ship as well as the smaller one of a kind items I regularly sell online. Last year, admission was $8.00 for adults - kids 12 & under got in FREE. (Sorry, No Pets) - It should be about the same this year. Check out www.haycreek.org for more information.
