June 5th DAWF

The coordinator of the show emailed me with this cheery message:

"Hello All-

This is just a little reminder that the next (HOPEFULLY!) Down Town Art & Wine Fair
is Friday, June 5th. The set up is 3PM - 4:30PM, in Carbondale's Town Square.

We are very ready for this event to happen! We are hoping for nice weather, but
just in case, the rain date has been set for June 12th.
On May 8th, we waited until the last possible minute to cancel the event. We decided
to cancel at 1PM, then the storm came through right after that."

May Event Unfortunately Cancelled. See the DAWF in June

Due to the rather unfortunate events in Carbondale this past weekend, power outages and limbs down intervened!! The May Event unfortunately had to be cancelled. But, in about a month, the second-scheduled show will take place June 8th, 2009.

It is my greatest hope that everyone soon has power and fresh water again!! Hopefully crafters got some of their goodies organized while the TV and Computer were out of comission--I know I did!!

May Event Rescheduled for This Weekend!!!

So, rainy weather stopped the May event from happening this past weekend, but it is rescheduled for thie Friday (May 8th beginning at 4:30)

You are welcome to set up beginning at 2:30, and this may be a great idea- visitors always come early.

If you are going to participate in the Carbondale DAWF, please send me a link to your website or contact information, and I will add it to this blog.

Good luck this weekend. Have fun!!!

Carbondale Downtown Art & Wine Fair 2009

The annual art and wine fair will be held this year on May 1st, June 5th, and October 2nd. It will again be in the capital of southern Illinois--Carbondale, IL. Southern Illinois University is not far at all!

Please visit the fair if you will be in town.

Shawnee Hills Wine Trail Association will be joining the Carbondale Main Street Association once again to hold a very classy event. The surrounding downtown area is really nice. There are several vegan restaurants and a grocery shop. There are some nice coffee houses, a bar, a more upscale restaurant, and also an art gallery, Art Lovers. They will all be open for the event, so if wine is not your thing, then just come for the art and the great food.

Live music will also be there. Updates coming soon on the bands.

Bring the whole family!!!
