Large crowds walk along the Lake Erie shoreline in front of the Hotel Lakeside lawn during the Craft and Art Show.

The annual Lakeside Craft & Art Show was held last weekend on the Hotel Lakeside lawn and west waterfront. Beautiful weather greeted a large crowd of strolling visitors stopping at dozens of exhibitors.

Tents were filled with artists of all persuasions, and covered the available grounds, each artist sharing their unique talent. Flea market specials covered more than one table.

Creativeness was the the key word for the Arts and Crafts show, with watercolor paintings, repurposed items turned into works of art, and multiple tents sharing wood centered creations. Vendors sold photographs, paintings, wood carvings, handmade jewelry, metal crafts, fabric arts, garden art and home décor.
