June 2006 North Fork Sidewalk Celebration
2008 ANNUAL SIDEWALK CELEBRATION
Our local naturalist Joanne Freemire teaches leaf printing on tee shirts.
Young and old alike enjoyed this craft.
The Annual Sidewalk Celebration, held in June on the Main Street of North Fork includes artist-vendor booths and hands-on art opportunities for "want-to-be" artists.
Contests in mural painting and auto-decorating as well as sidewalk chalk-art are also held.
Professional musicians provide the ambience for singing and dancing in the streets.
GATHERING OF THE MUSICIANS
The annual Frank Logar Gathering of the Musicians each Fall brings music to an open-air theatre setting for music lovers to sit and eat in a surround-sound of Blue Grass, Dixieland, Folk Singing and a variety of instrumental and vocal presentations which raise funds for scholarships.
