(WOODBURY) Come spend a early fall day in the country at the 31st annual White Oak Craft Fair scheduled from 9:00AM to 5:00PM on Saturday and 10:00am to 4:00pm on Sunday, September 11 and 12 , 2021. It's at the Arts Center of Cannon County, 1424 John Bragg Highway in neighboring Woodbury.
The White Oak Craft Fair will presents an enormous variety of work including original textiles, jewelry, woodcarving, metalwork, pottery, rocking chairs, baskets, ironwork, stained glass and much more.
In an age when mass production makes so many things widely available, the White Oak Crafts Fair celebrates the inspiration and skill of the individual maker as well as being an opportunity to appreciate uniqueness. Although a high percentage of the participants in the show are typically perennial favorites, new exhibitors join the show each year, so there is always something new and fresh for visitors to look forward to. Continuing this year is a “Children’s Tent” sponsored by Fast Pace Urgent Care that will offer free children’s activities including balloon animals on Saturday, coloring, temporary tattoos, and free “make and take” crafts. Also there will be craft artist presentations through out the fair showing our youngest patrons how crafts are made.
This year the fair will again include a special exhibit in Cannon Hall featuring master basket maker Sue Williams who was just awarded the Tennessee Governor’s Folklife Heritage Award, Tennessee’s highest honor in the arts. Basket weaving is one of the oldest art forms from gathering and preparing the materials to patiently weaving them together into a functional and beautiful design. This is a not to be missed opportunity to watch a master basket maker at work.
Admission to the fair is FREE with a $3 donation for supervised parking benefiting the Cannon County High School’s Cross Country Team and The Arts Center.
Make your plans now to visit the White Oak Crafts Fair, but be sure that you give yourself plenty of time because you will not want to miss all that this year’s fair has to offer.
The 31st Annual White Oak Crafts is sponsored in part by White Oak Tennessee, The Arts Center of Cannon County, The Tennessee Arts Commission, Fast Pace Urgent Care, and realtor Gregory Goff.
The fair will be at The Arts Center of Cannon County, 1424 John Bragg Highway, just west of the town of Woodbury, approximately 20 minutes from Murfreesboro, Manchester, and McMinnville and one hour southeast of Nashville.
