Melrose Plantation Arts and Crafts Festival remains a crowd-pleaser
Festival offers crafts fromftve^
state area
BY JANE BALDWIN
The Cunent Sauce
Hundreds of festival goers braved
90 degree heat to attend the 20th annual
Melrose Plantation Arts and Crafts Festival
held Saturday and Sunday.
Over 100 craflers from all over Louigj.
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and even
Oklahoma displayed handicrafts such as
jewelry, homemade dolls and original pot.
tery at the historic Melrose Plantation.
Renee Hopkins came all the way from
Hot Springs, Ark., to display porcelain dolls
at her "Bear Necessities" booth. Hopkins
said she heard about the festival from other
crafters. "I always look for good shows and I
heard it was a great festival," Hopkins said
Cliff Mire from St. Martindale braved
the heat because "so many people come to
the festival. This is my second time to come
and I always come back because it is a good
show."
Dianne Gibson, co-director of the festi¬
val, explained that the festival originally
began 20 years ago to help finance the up¬
keep of Melrose plantation.
"Keeping the grounds here at Melrose is
very expensive," she said. "This seemed a
good way to raise money for the projects.
"It was a way to give the community
access to different crafts that were repre¬
sented from different states. We always get
a great turnout these two days."
Located 14 miles outside Natchitoches
Melrose Plantation dates back to 1796 and
has been designated as a National Historic
Landmark.
The Plantation consists of nine build¬
ings including the African House. It is the
only Congo-like architecture on the North
American continent. Other buildings in¬
clude the Big House, the bindery, Ghana
House, writer's cabin, the weaving house,
the barn and the cabin home of Clementine
Hunter, a famous, local folk artist.
