The strength of the RiverFest Craft Show is its assortment. It is a juried craft show, and management requires that crafters sell only items they themselves have made by hand -- in a wide range of prices. You’ll find fabrics as doll clothes (for people, too, of course) – hand-dyed, hand-painted or appliquéd. There will be whimsical wood novelties, birdhouses and practical furniture; silk florals; jewelry for the casual and fanciful; plus ceramics, folk art and a host of children’s accessories. The show is situated among the woodlands of Pottawatomie Park in an area east of the riverside path and south of the tennis courts and parking lots.
