EDUCATION BOOTH – Tim O’Grady from Whistle Stop Clay Works will have a potters wheel for some AWESOME demonstrations! Whistle Stop Clay Works is a fully equipped ceramics teaching studio and gallery located in historic downtown Loveland, Ohio.  While the focus is on instruction to help students achieve the knowledge and skill to develop their own sense of ceramics art or craft, many agree that Whistle Stop Clay Works is just plain fun. While Tim will be rocking it on the potters wheel, he will be happy to talk to you about the adult classes, Cocktails & Clay (their signature monthly event), youth summer camps, private events and more.

ENTERTAINMENT BOOTH – Russell Up Some Grub – Hot old-time mountain tunes cooked with a fiddle, stirred with a banjo, seasoned with a doghouse bass, and spiced with a dash of ukejo. We sing for our supper, as well as our breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and any spare midnight snacks. Our old-timey tunes will tug at your heartstrings — and loosen your purse-strings. Let us entertain you! says leader Russ Childers who plays banjo and fiddle in the band. His band mates include banjo uke-playing Barb Childers, bluesy slide guitarist Mark Alexander, and the very properly upright bass player Rob Kranz.
KIDS’ PATCH – There’s lots of opportunity for fun this year.
