Food * Fun* Fabulous Art

It’s time for Food, Fun and Fabulous Art celebrating 1st Saturday in Three Rivers, October 7, 2023 from 11 to 5! Don’t you just love fall? The trees in Three Rivers are starting to turn. Come to the Presbyterian Church and meet our Featured Artist, Jamie Van Allen and enjoy her lovely scented candles and beautiful pieces of art.

While you are at the Presbyterian Church, you will have the opportunity to meet Danette Eskridge who makes delightful hand-crafted gnomes. Also meet Judy Goodman, an excellent seamstress who now also crochets to create boho bags, purses, yoga bags and more. Correy McGlyn will delight you as she creates personal, on the spot poems using a typewriter.  We have come to count on seeing Bertha Garza offering her wonderful Dazzling Dreams Natural Skin Care Products. You don’t want to miss Kacey Fansett who will help you create a unique, one-of-a-kind Silver and Glass Pendant; for free; all are welcome.

The multi-talented Christine Sell Porter will be at Kaweah Arts where you can enjoy her paintings and other interesting artistic offerings. While you are there, meet Nancy Brunson, owner of Kaweah Arts, where you will find the art of 50+ artists. Nancy invites you to spend some time discovering what the artists have to offer. Since my weaving studio will not be open, you can find my handwoven towels and other items at Kaweah Arts.

For light-hearted whimsy, visit Linda Dumont’s Faery Godmother’s Enchanted Cottage for her chakras wands, healing mandalas and sculptures.

Don’t miss the beautiful drive up the South Fork to the ever-popular River Water Pottery Studio & Gallery where Anne & HJ Brown make their beautiful hand made pottery. Here you will also find Jami Beck with jewelry, gourds & Macramé items.

At Kaweah Coffee Roasters they serve artisan coffee and other delicious beverages as well as wonderful breakfast and lunch options!  Right behind Kaweah Coffee Roasters is Royal Garden Nursery where Kayla Pace specializes in native plants, succulents, cacti, and seasonal produce. She is now featuring arts and crafts in the greenhouse area every Saturday from 10am-4pm. While there, you can enjoy the paintings and repurposed wood of David Ramirez. He makes small curiosities, garden art, and things like door knockers and small tables.

Totem Market and Gifts (8 am to 8 pm) is where you can pick up BBQ & Beer and visit a Wine Tasting Bar. Three Rivers Historical Museum has a gift shop and books by local authors. PUBLIC RESTROOMS are also available at the Museum. You must try the newest place in town to eat: Tony’s Taverna on Wheels, serving fresh authentic Greek Food from their food truck in the parking lot of the Museum. Last but certainly not least, a visit to Three Rivers is not complete without stopping at Reimer’s Candies and Gifts for some specially made candy and ice cream.

Maps with addresses and more information are available for you to pick up at Kaweah Arts and the Historical Museum.  More information can be found on our website: www.1stSaturdayTR.com where you can soon download a map.
