Kathe Reed gets her jewelry booth ready for the show opening.
Linda Dunlap doesn't hesitate when asked her thoughts on the Warren County Arts & Crafts Fair."Being here is just like home," said Dunlap. "It's great to see so many people you know."After opening Thursday night, the craft show continues at McMinnville Civic Center on Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. As a door prize, show sponsor Homeland Community Bank is offering $250 to be given away Saturday.Dunlap began exhibiting at the craft fair in the 1980s as a potter. She has since shifted to painting, following in the footsteps of her mother, Chole Gillespie."She's 96 now and she painted until she was 92," said Linda, who doubts she will enjoy the artistic longevity of her mother.Kathe Reed has been selling her hand-crafted jewelry at the show for 25 years.
