Kunstfest in New Harmony

Perhaps not having arts in public schools, I am more conscientious about getting the family out to regional arts events.  Today we went to Kunstfest in New Harmony, Indiana, a celebration of traditional crafts and contemporary handcrafted work, along with plenty of good German foods sold by various churches and local civic organizations.

The kids drew and wrote their vision of Utopia on the wall of the Visitor Center.  Imagine the joy of writing on a wall, a big white wall!

We also saw a potter, talked to a basketmaker and a woodworker, and picked up some fun wooden hammers.  After all, we can never resist a good hammer!
