The seventh annual Clarendon Arts Festival will be held this week October 22, 24, and 27 at the Donley County Activity Center located one mile north of the city on State Hwy. 70.
The event, sponsored by Clarendon’s Les Beaux Arts Club, begins with the Preferred Buyers Reception held Thursday evening, October 22, from 6:00 to 9:00, where buyers will be delighted with the variety being offered at the Clarendon Arts Festival this year.
Many art works were checked in this week at the Clarendon Arts Festival. Anyone is welcome at Thursday’s reception; and if you haven’t already pre-paid as a preferred buyer, you can pay that night at the door.
As well as the large selection of art being offered, buyers enjoy the heavy hors d’oeuvres prepared by the ladies of Les Beaux Arts Club.
The Clarendon Arts Festival opens to the public Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the art club’s Mac & Cheese Cookoff running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Members of the public will be given voting tokens to vote for their favorite Mac & Cheese. The People’s Choice Award will be given to the cook that receives the most votes. Sample cups will be sold at the door for $5 for the tasting, starting at 11:00 a.m. and concluding at 3:00 p.m.
Sunday the arts festival resumes at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. Those attending the Sunday can enjoy St. Mary’s famous Annual Enchilada Dinner.
In addition to the art show, there are many hand-constructed items for sale.
The 2015 Clarendon Arts Festival is sponsored by the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation and Hotel Occupancy Tax, and Donley County Activity Center. With all the fine art and crafts showing here this weekend, everyone should be able to find a unique gift or treasure.
