CCLACC press release

The annual Cedar Creek Lake Festival of the Arts, hosted by the Mabank Chapter of the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, is scheduled to open to the public on historic Market Street in downtown Mabank at 10 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. The event is free of charge to the public and boasts “something for everyone.”

According to event chair, Scott Confer, “There’ll be something to suit every one’s taste in arts, crafts, music and food.” He went on to say that every effort is made every year to guarantee quality vendors, musical offerings and reasonably priced food and this year is no different.

The 2012 Festival of the Arts featured approximately 80 vendors and this year’s event is shaping up to be every bit as large, with interest and participation from returning artists, as well as new ones that have heard about the show and want to be a part of it. There’ll be no shortage of a variety of offerings from paintings to beautifully crafted wood items, handcrafted jewelry, clothing, pottery, children’s items, metal art and a large array of art from various mediums.

Special presentations include young dancers from The Dance Connection, face-painters and a variety of musical offerings.

The Festival is a family event so visitors can expect to enjoy great art, crafts, music and food vendors to meet most every one’s taste buds.

There’s still time to reserve a vendor booth. Booth space, without electricity, is $40 for the day. Sellers will be asked to provide their own tents and furnishings. No “garage sale” type merchandise will be allowed.

To receive an application or vendor information, call 903.880.3846 or email [email protected]. Visit www.DiscoverMabank.com

Proceeds benefit the Mabank Chapter of The Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.
