Grand Lake Stream Folk Art Festival

I visited the Grand Lake Stream Folk Art Festival for the first time last weekend in Grand Lake Stream, Maine. So many sights and sounds: craft booths, demonstrations, food, music. Had a great time talking to artisans. Here are some highlights.

Fly Tying - Jim Merlihan, Darlington, MD. (Seeing this reminded me of fly fishing with my dad).



Hand Spinning - Karen Cornell of CrowsRise Farm, Anson, ME.



Traditional Wooden Snowshoes - Robert Howe of Maine Guide Snowshoes, Bingham, ME.



Handmade Instruments - Thomas Knowles of Dragonfly Instruments, Lee, ME.



I'd highly recommend marking your calendars for a visit to Downeast Maine in time for the Grand Lake Stream Folk Art Festival next year!--Janyce
