County Fair Legacy Project
The Legacy grant will help support bringing in local artists to do demonstrations and classes on jewelry making, macrame, and hat designing. There will be a class each day of the fair for both young and old where participants get hands-on experience in designing jewelry and creating their own piece to take with them, as well as creating a macrame design like a hanging pot holder or wall-hanging. Lastly a session will focus on hat designing. The hats (usually cowboy style) will be provided by the artist and the participant will be able to add cords, beads, feathers, etc. to decorate it and be able to take it home.
We expect each class to be filled as community and county participants are excited about these opportunities to learn a new craft and to be able to take their craft with them. We will have volunteers at each class to record the number of participants and document the responses of how well the class was ran and assess final products.
