Norton County Arts Council Hosts Arts and Crafts Fair 

[Norton, KS] Norton County Arts Council’s (NCAC)  Arts and Craft Fair, a long-standing regional attracting event, will be kicking off on Saturday, November 13th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a festive celebration of all things handmade. Carefully curating independent maker talent from across the region from Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, the Norton Arts and Crafts Fair has been and remains a seasonal destination for one-of-a-kind, beautifully crafted items, ideal for gift-giving. The event will showcase nearly 40 regional food vendors and crafters, drawing an average of 700 attendees.  

Visitors will have the opportunity to browse through an array of shabby chic designs, including jewelry and accessories, art, apparel, ceramics, illustration, stationery, home decor, holiday decor, cookware, apothecary, local honey, local fudge, and much more. Unique to this year, Moms 4 Kids will be providing pulled pork sandwiches and nachos along with various food items at the National Guard Armory location. 

The Norton County Arts Council will host the event at the National Guard Armory at 1200 N State Street and the Norton County 4-H Building at 126 E Park Street in Norton. Admission is $2. Along with these booths a bonus location hosted by the Norton County Community Foundation will feature student booths participating in the Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge at the historic Heaton building. 

The Norton County Arts Council works to build upon its mission to promote the arts by working with regional and local community organizations, businesses, and community members to enhance the culture and arts support in Norton County.  Over the last year, the Norton County Arts Council has facilitated the Kansas Centennial Women’s Suffrage Mural located in Norton, the Smithsonian’s traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America,  Artist Inc. Workshops, Masterclass Online Workshop Subscriptions, Western Kansas Artist Network, and the Norton County Sesquicentennial Logo Contest.
