About this Event

Join host Jenn Barger (author of travel & crafts newsletter The Souvenirist) for a free, docent-led tour talking about the rise of U.S. state fairs and the crafts they inspire. After the tour, you'll have the option to join the group for lunch downtown.
Among the highlights: a portrait of Dolly Parton rendered in seeds (shown), crazy quilts, and the world's fanciest corn dog holder.
