A special Artisan Festival will be held at Smokeshire Design, 3630 Vermont Route 103 North in Chester, from 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14.
Artists will be on hand to give live demonstrations, local food makers will offer specialty tastings and there will be special promotions. And a kids’ craft table will have a variety of art projects for all ages. See antique cars up close!

Smokeshire Design is offering the space to the vendors at no charge to promote local artists and to help those who were impacted by the July flooding.

The following artists will be on site:

Heidi Louise, potter
Jim Maas and Dan Lacasse, wood carvers
Robert Sydorowich, painter
Miranda Kae, jeweler — special debut
The whole family is invited to attend. Enjoy complimentary beverages and listen to the sounds of local acoustic guitarist Bill Brink while you shop. Goodman’s American Pie will be serving up wood-fired pizza from its food truck.
