Craft fair draws crowd to Sisters

Visitors sampled the wares of vendors at the Sisters Arts & Crafts Festival

Hundreds of shoppers turned out for the Sisters Arts & Crafts Festival last weekend at Creekside City Park.

The rolling terrain of the park hosted a tent city of vendors ranging from jewelers to painters to metal sculptors, soap makers and quilters.

Parking was at a premium around the park on Saturday, July 28, as visitors dropped by to take a look around.

The event featured food and entertainment as well as art and craft displays and a Saturday auction benefited the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

The Sunday crowd was a little thinner under threatening skies, but families still enjoyed strolling among the boots. And children enjoyed snowcones -- despite weather that felt more like March than July.
