OCTOBER 5-8, 2017
Mark your calendar for another
spectacular Ohio Mart!
Fall brings a crispness in the air, leaves crunching under foot,
and pumpkin spice-flavored everything. And of course, it is also
the season for Ohio Mart, Ohio’s premier artisan fall festival. The
51st annual Ohio Mart takes place from October 5-8 organized by
the Advisory Board as a fundraiser for the estate.
There are 125 exhibitors at this year’s Ohio Mart, including
23 new artists. Previous Gertrude Seiberling Award (best in show)
winners who will be exhibiting include Sandy Miller of Sandy
Miller Pottery, Susan Ramey of Ridgetop Pottery, Bruce Garrabrandt,
Artist & Author and Mike Guyot of Streets Art. New artists
include John Boyett of Canton Glass Works, Paul Fletcher of Paul
Fletcher Fine Arts and Betty Boyd of Betty’s Bears and Vests.
The fantastic exhibitors are the reason that so many spend a day
(or more) at Ohio Mart, but guests quickly realize that Ohio Mart
is so.much.more. There are beautiful handmade items in the Craft
Shop, and beautiful dried floral arrangements (created from Great
Garden flowers) for sale in the Carriage House Auditorium.
Molly’s Boutique returns with exquisite fine fashion. Vintage
Finds and Curious Goods is the place to find the unusual and the
collectible, and Ex Libris sells gently used books. The Stan Hywet
Needlework Guild hosts the Stitchers’ Fair of needlework supplies,
kits and finished items in the Manor House driveway (“the
Well”); they also hoste stitching activities for children on Friday
and Saturday.
Lunch in the Food Court, followed by a hot gingerbread cookie
or perhaps a treat or three (!) from the Bakery Tent is a great
way to relax between Ohio Mart activities. Or try your luck by
purchasing some Sweepstakes Raffle tickets with fantastic prizes.
The always popular “Inspiration in Bloom” floral show in the
Manor House is back but with a twist: it’s being created solely
by the Stan Hywet Flower Arrangers. This talented group of 30
volunteers, experts in floral design. will create as many as a dozen
extraordinary arrangements, inspired by the historic rooms and
furnishings.
“We’re going to do what we do best: beautiful arrangements of
flowers in the traditional style throughout the Manor House. The
displays will be themed for fall and we’ll use some of our favorite
containers that have been in use since we were organized in 1972,
notes volunteer Ann Towell, who manages this small but mighty
group. See box on the history of the Stan Hywet Flower Arrangers.
Inspiration in Bloom and a self-guided tour of the Manor
House is included in the Combo Ticket.
Mums for your fall décor may be purchased at Molly’s, which
features a fabulous selection of fall and holiday items.
