OSAGE | The preeminent craft and art show celebrating all things autumn has a firm place on the September calendar once again.
Autumn Artistry of Osage enters its 18th year this, Saturday, Sept. 15, with a wealth of area artisans, quilters and harvest goods, all welcoming visitors in downtown Osage and at the Mitchell County Fairgrounds.
Also returning is the ever-popular Blacktop Cruisers Car Show. In its 16th year, it will be held at the fairgrounds on that day.
Autumn Artistry is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. – and have plans to arrive early. Crafters fill three parking lots worth of space in the Osage’s downtown, as well as areas in streets off of Main Street – located by Renee’s Loving Care; Home Trust and Savings Bank; and by Art’s Shoes.
Both South Sixth Street and North Sixth Street off Main Street will also feature vendors, food and live music from Spenser Rahm.Â
