Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron has been hosting the public for decades for many long-running events. One of those is Ohio Mart, now in its 55th year.
The artisan craft fair, a fundraiser for the historical facility, features more than 120 vendors who work in mediums such as ceramics, jewelry, textiles, garden art and photography. But there’s more! Curious Goods and Vintage Finds will be selling collectibles and vintage items, and the Garden Committee will have its dried flower arrangements made with flowers from Stan Hywet’s own garden. And the Ex Libris book tent will be offering used books.
In addition, the Stan Hywet Needlework Guild will be having its Textile Arts & Artisan Show, featuring the work of quilters, weavers and spinners, who’ll be demonstrating their crafts and hosting a needlework project for kids on Saturday and Sunday, so the days will be packed (Tickets include the self-guided tour of the Manor House, if you have any extra time!)
You’ll need fuel for all that so the Food Court will be offering a variety of items for sale from local food vendors, including grilled cheese and Greek cuisine. There’ll be bakery and Stan Hywet’s beloved hot gingergbread cookies too, as well as craft beer and wine.
Tickets are $16 for adults, $8 for ages 3-17. Go to stanhywet.org for more information and to get tickets, which must be purchased in advance.
