Arts Festival features fun activities and new creations

By KENT THOMPSON
The 14th annual Humboldt Arts Festival features something for everyone when it comes to town on Saturday, June 15.
The event will be at the Humboldt County Historical Museum grounds, 905 1st Ave. N., Dakota City. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with children’s art ending at 2 p.m.
Amber Olson and Kate Smith are serving as the co-chairs for this year’s Festival. Olson assisted Lori Curran last year.
“The event is a way for us to give back to the community with a free event that celebrates the arts in all of its manifestations,” Olson said.
For example, there will be creative artistic expression through a number of activities and crafts for children, the display of handmade items by the 20 or so artisans who will be displaying and selling their wares. There will be live entertainment — musical and comedy.
