Artistry in Gourds Spring Show

If you ever attended the Ohio Gourd Society Show when it took place in the fall on the Darke County Fairgrounds and was intrigued with the magical artistry of the lowly gourd, The West Central Ohio Gourd Patch is excited to announce their upcoming Spring Gourd Show. If you have never had the good fortune to attend a gourd show, this is a great opportunity to experience the mystical transformation of the gourd into unique hand-crafted items that each artisan envisions when they look at a gourd. Many will say the gourd “speaks” to them as to what they want to become. They can be very addictive because the possibilities are almost endless.

Craft items will be available to purchase from local artisans, along with dried gourds and plants. It will be held at the Darke County Shawnee Prairie Preserve on Saturday, May 21st from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The event is free to the public.

If you are one of many who miss having the Ohio Gourd Show locally, this is your opportunity to again experience the gourd magic. For those who have never attended a show, please come - you just might be amazed!
