Crafty Bastards Entertainment Awesomeness!

I think we did a fine job finding totally excellent performers to fill the schedule! There’s something for everyone, so be sure to time your visit right to see your top picks! At the front of the fair we’ve got the acoustic Welcome Mat Stage to draw you in, then the Main Stage in the back to keep the crowd in a festive mood. I really can’t wait to see and hear everyone…so much great music! Be sure to check back in the Crafty blog for Q&As with all the performers, too.
