The ninth annual Clarendon Arts Festival will be held this Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29, at the Donley County Activity Center one mile north of the city on State Hwy. 70.
Organizers have been working all week setting up displays and taking entries for the festival, which will also feature Junior Art exhibits by students from Kindergarten through high school.
The event, sponsored by Clarendon’s Les Beaux Arts Club, opens to the public this Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Live musical entertainment is being provided during the day Saturday by Micah Talley of Happy, Joel Louis of Clarendon, and Jesse Lincycomb of Howardwick.
The VFW Auxiliary will provide concessions during the day Saturday, including stew and chili with cornbread for lunch.
Saturday evening the Preferred Buyers Reception will be held from 6:00 to 9:00, where buyers will be delighted with the variety being offered at the Clarendon Arts Festival this year. Anyone is welcome at the reception; and if you haven’t already pre-paid as a preferred buyer, you can pay that night at the door.
Along with the large selection of art being offered, buyers enjoy the heavy hors d’oeuvres prepared by the ladies of Les Beaux Arts Club.
The Arts Festival resumes Sunday 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 artists setting up booths with hand-constructed items for sale.
The 2017 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.
