Since the first week of July, Maryann Walker has accepted artwork from children and adults throughout the River Valley who are excited to display their art at Old Home Week.

Expect excellent handwork, such as cross-stitch, sewing, woodwork, pottery, and gardening.

“Old Home Week is like a museum of local people’s talent,” said Walker.

The Hobby Show also has a First Nations display that showcases the beautiful art of the First Nations peoples of Carleton County.

Walker says she can not wait to see the smiles of those who submitted their work.
