Post 27: 2 Days in September at the Occoquan Arts and Crafts Show

2 Days in September at the Occoquan Arts and Crafts Show

We were incredibly blessed with AWESOME weather for this past weekends-  September 25 and 26, 2021- Occoquan Arts and Crafts Show. Big blue sky, mid 70's, LOTS and LOTS of people out to see handcrafted gifts, crafts, and fine art. The Prince William Art Society was proud to be a part of this wonderful event.

Images from the Weekend

Our booths were located on the corner of Mill Street and Union Street, booths 50 and 51 in front of Reclaimed Treasures, a great place to shop any day - by the way. (Again, a big thankyou to Mitzie!)
