The Pennsylvania Guild of Fine Arts is returning to Montgomery County Community College this month to showcase and sell its finest arts.

On Oct. 17 and 18, the guild will be at the college's Blue Bell campus where "durable, locally-made fine crafts" will be available for sale. The guild is encouraging area residents to turn out and "buy local" to help the earth and get themselves something better than store-bought.

There will be more than 100 craftsmen from the local area on display this year. There will also be live demonstrations of some crafting skills and attendees are encouraged to ask questions of the crafters. Among those crafters is master rug weaver Eric Weit of Ephrata.

There will also be an acoustical roadshow at the festival this year with sounds of the Martin Family Band and Tin Kettle.

Children age 12 and under enter for free. Children this year will also be given the opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt and win prizes. There will also be hands-on craft projects for kids under age 12.

The show will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18. Admission is $7 for adults. No pets please.
