Artists at the Ellington Farmers' Market Sat. Aug 15th 9-12

It looks like Mother Nature is going to shine upon us again this Saturday to provide an idyllic setting in our own Arbor Park as we celebrate Artists at the Market. Pour yourself a steaming cup of Luann’s delicious hot coffee and visit displays of pencil, oils, charcoal, ink, acrylics, photography, jewelry and wood art as you talk with our guest artists about their creations. After browsing the art take the time to relax under the trees and enjoy the music by Thread City String Band on a lovely summer morning.
