The cans, pitchers, faucets, stoves, straw, and other props on which they perch are all carved of wood. Robert Barrett returns to Chesapeake Bank with a selection of original works and prints. He will be joined by Frannie Mundorf who also does original paintings and decorative painting on wooden objects. Centreville Bank hosts Ron Klingner, a natural science illustrator and Peoples Bank Bruce Plummer with a fine selection of taxidermy mounts.

A popular stop at the show is the soup-line. Area restaurants donate pots of soup for the public to sample. Duck, goose, clams, crabs, and oysters are all featured as the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay. An added attraction for the weekend is a visit to Sultana Shipyard on Cannon Street, where a 1767 reproduction schooner is being built. Work has been in progress for more than two years.
