We are in the planning stages of the Marbold Artisan's Fair: Saturday, September 7th, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We are looking for artists to paint plein air fashion (outdoors), craftsmen, jewelry, photography, pottery, spinning/weaving, etc. A student art show will also be held that day. Music and food to round out the day. Cost: $25 for a space.

Thank You to everyone that came out to visit with us at Marbold Farmstead June 22nd or 23rd. We hope you had a wonderful time and learned some history while you were there. Your support is what keeps this house standing proud. The list of people to thank for making the event possible is long: The board of directors for their leadership and vision led by president Charlotte Wohler, the antique show planning committee, our corporate sponsors, our volunteers, our music performers, Civil War history presenters, period craftsmen, antique dealers, our tour guide Barbara Van Dyke-Brown, Ishmael Land Improvements for keeping the grass looking nice, The Mosquito Squad for keeping the bugs at bay, Shick Shack BBQ, and whoever else I forgot to mention. How about Paul white for keeping all the electrical working or our Facebook manager/webmaster/announcer Greg McKenney. And a special thanks to Steven Spearie from the State Journal Register for the wonderful article about Marbold Farmstead.
