subject: Attend A Festival For Arts And Crafts Portage Wi [print this page] Crafting is a popular activity. You can buy a kit to make anything from a painting with a popsicle stick frame to a beaded necklace and bracelet. Some parents encourage the littlest tykes by showing them how to string large beads together to make one of the necklaces. Why let them sit and watch boring cartoons. They can do crafts just like the ones you will see at festivals. See arts and crafts Portage Wi.
Kids like to have something fun to do when they play at each other's houses. Nothing is easier or more engaging than a craft project. Let the kids choose one of their own, or buy some kits for when friends come over. There are kits for everything from knitting, to making colorful picture frames or beading. Older kids love to knit and embroider.
The Martha Stuarts of the future really enjoy doing the projects and later showing them off. Often they are made as gifts for relatives. When they are older, they may show them off at one of the many arts and crafts fairs that are held. Often the projects will be judged and some will be awarded prizes in the form of ribbons or money.
Portage is scheduling two events in the month of August. The first scheduled craft fair is called the Portage City Flea Market. It is being held at the Columbia County Fairgrounds. The location is, of course, Portage, Wisconsin. It will take place on August 7. Finish up your projects and bring them out. See what others are creating. There is no judging and no prize money scheduled.
Put down August 28th on your calendar for the Taste of Portage Market Fair. They are presenting two stages of entertainment and you can show off your crafts and possibly sell them. Get new ideas on projects for the future too.
