Post 97 Craft Bazaar coming October 20

By Eve­lyn Long -

Dave and Audrey Leonard have been cre­at­ing use­ful and dec­o­ra­tive crafts and attend­ing craft shows for 20 years and now the CArd­ing­ton cou­ple have orga­nized a Craft Bazaar to be held at the post home of Jenkins-Vaughan Post 97, Card­ing­ton on Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 20. Spon­sored by the post, the event will be held from 9 am to 3 pm. All pro­ceeds will ben­e­fit Post 97.The lunch will be served by Aux­il­iary Unit 97.

The Leonards seek to cre­ate “things we don’t see any­where else.” “We look for some­thing unusual,” said Dave, a six year vet­eran of the U. S. Navy, who has artistry in his background.

While employed with GE Super Abra­sives, Wor­thing­ton, where he worked in haz­ardous duty and dan­ger­ous goods shipped, he noted the wooden lids on the used bar­rels would be great mate­r­ial on which he could paint ships. Ear­lier he had attended the Colum­bus Col­lege of Art and Design for sev­eral months and stud­ied a home course with the Wash­ing­ton School of Art giv­ing him a back­ground in artistry. Paint­ing on the lids led to the cre­ation of more pieces by the cou­ple, dec­o­ra­tive and use­ful, which they took to craft shows.

Crafters are invited to pur­chase a booth space for $25. This includes one table and two chairs. Addi­tional spaces are $25 each and are also $25. Setup time is from 7 am to 9 am on the morn­ing of the Bazaar. Tear down time is 3 pm.

The Leonards invite inter­ested per­sons to con­tact them at 419–864-8182.
