Humboldt Artisan Craft and Music Festival

Better late than never!

What a great experience! It was our first time as vendors and attendees. We will never miss it again! The level of craftsmanship and camaraderie throughout was incredible. Music filled all four buildings for most of each day and varied from singer songwriters with guitars, ukuleles, or accordions, to bands like the Compost Mountain Boys. Vendors carried everything one could possibly want for themselves or the perfect holiday gift including, gorgeous brooms, wooden spoons, ceramics, wooden swords and pvc marshmallow blow guns (the perfect gift for Erin A's brother the lawyer who will always be a child at heart), soaps, blown glass, mushroom growing kits, jewelry, and much much more. People could be seen with their Christmas lists in hand searching for vendors they had visited in years past as well as new artists. Children carried bags of kettle corn as big as they were and the scent of BBQ and the blacksmiths forge filled the air. A wine bar, beer bar, and several dining areas served as perfect places to rest ones feet and enjoy some people watching while sipping something hot and toasty from Ramone's Bakery or enjoying something more substantial from several different vendors. At two dollars (or a toy donation) for entry, it was the perfect way to spend the day during the busy holiday season.
