COOKSBURG, Pa. (EYT) – The Sawmill Center for the Arts will be hosting two big festivals in the coming weeks.
The Quilt and Art Show will take place August 19 and August 20, and the Chainsaw Carvers’ Round-Up will be held September 15 to September 17.
The public is invited to both events.
The Quilt and Art Show will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.
The show will feature a large display of handmade quilts. There will be traditional and modern patterns in a beautiful display of mixed media fiber arts.
A $2.00 admission fee will allow the public to view these works of art which will be judged prior to the show.
Two quilts will also be raffled at the end of the event on August 20.
Quilters are encouraged to enter pieces in the quilt show at a fee of $5.00 per quilt. The quilts may be registered for sale if desired.
The Chainsaw Carvers’ Round-Up is a much-anticipated annual event where attendees enjoy watching artists carve masterpieces from simple logs.
Carvers from around the region will spend the weekend actively working and then auctioning off their finished pieces.
Auctions will be held at 4:00 p.m. on September 16 and at 3:30 p.m. on September 17.
The artists will also have some of their previously-completed work for sale on the site.
Anyone interested in registering as a carver should contact the Sawmill Center at 814-927-6655 or info@sawmill.org.
Free lodging is provided to carvers, along with free logs.
