Joe makes another pick of the week for South Carolina. This time he’s headed for Myrtle Beach.
Craftsmen’s Classicâ„¢ Arts & Crafts Festival 2009 in Myrtle Beach, SC
Fall is usually the time to pick up arts or crafts projects again. Kids go back to school, vacation time is over and for a lot of us, it’s back to the everyday life. A great way to get inspiration for your own arts and crafts project is to visit a show – and in South Carolina in August, there’s a great show.
Craftsmen’s Classicâ„¢ Arts & Crafts Festival 2009 August 7-9th is a popular arts & crafts show in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina features original work from over 250 talented artists and craftspeople from across the country. Experience the creative process in action. Many exhibitors demonstrate their crafts throughout the weekend at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
