“Join us for our 10th Annual Art Fair, showcasing talented artists from Central Indiana,” Mollenkopf wrote. “Explore a variety of works, including jewelry, pottery, paintings and 3D art–there’s something for everyone. In addition to the art, enjoy vintage finds, delicious food and unique crafts from our vendors. Don’t miss out on visiting our charming antique shops, Lady Mae’s Boutique and Kirklin’s Variety Store.
