For the second year, there will be an Ole Applegate Place Clarion Convention Center Arts and Crafts Festival in Bentonville. The juried show located inside the climate-controlled convention center will have 125 arts and crafts exhibitors. The Clarion Inn is just west of Bentonville on AR 72. Those who travel to Springdale for the 5th Annual Ozark Regional Craft Shows can also experience the climate-controlled comfort of an indoor fair. The event will have 200 booths.
Concessions are available at both the convention center and hotel.
The convention center is located at 1500 S. 48th St., just north of AR 412 and east of Interstate 540. Quail Oaks Craft Fair, situated eight miles north of Rogers on U.S. 62, will be celebrating its 18th year. Its exhibitors are unique in that they offer craft demonstrations in a country and western town setting. It also provides a playground for children. The booths will be set up under 14 covered exhibit buildings and food is available.
