This post documents my experience on September 7, 2026.
The Labor Day Arts Festival brought together over 120 artists…
…who showed off their talents through eye-catching ceramics and pottery…
…vibrant stained glass and felt…
…and colorful leather belts and bags.
And the variety of works continued with carved wooden birdhouses…
…canine clay sculptures…
…watercolor and print critters…
…lively creations in 3-D mixed media and so much more.
A few steps from the artist area was an activity section for children…
…where they could further develop their artistic abilities…
…their musical talents…
…their skills in puppetry…
…and their expression through face painting.
And, if hunger struck, guest could browse through a lane of food trucks…
…offering everything from tacos and burritos…
…to classic burgers and fries…
…allowing them to get easily nab some chicken fingers or a Hawaiian dish…
…take it to the stage…
…and enjoy their meal while listening to some great music (Blue Spectrum).
