Last weekend, the Town of Occoquan hosted yet another successful spring Arts and Crafts Show.
“This is the show’s 46th year and we are continuing to take steps to improve and grow the show for the benefit of the participants, as well as the community,” said Town Manager Kirstyn Jovanovich.
Over the two days of the show, around 10,000 people came to Occoquan, said Jovanovich.
“We had about 265 vendors at the show that brought a wide variety of handcrafted items, including lawn ornaments made out of recycled materials, jewelry made from coins and recycled computer equipment, handmade soaps, baked goods, jellies, salsa, planters, dog treats and collars, clothing and more. In addition, we had many vendors specializing in fine, graphic and mixed media arts,” said Jovanovich.
Several of the vendors at the event were locally owned and operated, including jewelry maker Motherbored, based out of Gainesville, and What’s Your Time Frame, based in Manassas.
According to Jovanovich, the town is already gearing up for the fall Arts and Craft Show, which will be September 26 and 27.
