Just
as an old-fashioned quilting bee drew one another together and
strengthened the community, the same can be said of the Blair
County Arts Festival. For the past 41 years, artists and arts
lovers have gathered together to enjoy and experience the
performing and the visual arts. Join us in 2008 for this
enriching and comforting community tradition.
Parking Fees, Vendor Fees, and all other proceeds from the
Blair County Arts Festival benefit The Historic Mishler
Theatre, maintained and operated by the Blair County Arts
Foundation. |
