The shelter will draw fairgoers to a place where they can learn about cultural heritage through demos, programs, shows, and displays. We expect to seat 50-60 with a stage for programs and demos, and heritage dancing. The chainsaw artist will draw fairgoers as they walk by. They can ask questions and see the artist at work.
