Hidden Gifts at Alabama Craft Fairs

By Wendell Oswald

We have numerous fairs and festivals of note in Alabama. Right off, I'd have to say the National Peanut Festival is one that comes to my mind. It's a seasonal harvest celebration that honors peanut growers, and like other events, this festival is filled with activities like rides, and outdoor amphitheater and so on.

The craft show exhibits are one of the more exciting things in the National Peanut Festival, as well as in the other fairs around Alabama. It is where talent from all over the Heart of Dixie congregate to set up booths and show off crafts and artworks. If one wishes to find something of interest, this is definitely the place to be.

Maybe you yourself have an interest in the arts. Perhaps you have been dabbling in your craft in your spare time, but are afraid of showing off the products of your efforts. Whether it be a skill with a paintbrush or a talent for carving wooden sculptures, you should not be afraid to share your art, for they should be rightly admired. Who can tell? You may even bring in a decent amount of money from it.

Go participate in a craft show, and see what other equally talented people have come up with. If you feel you aren't confident enough, though, you may want to visit and look around at first; observing the works of other craftspeople and mixing them with your own expressive skills. Just remember to not let fear and doubt hold you back.

I really suggest that you go out there and show the world your talents. God has created and gifted every single one of us with a purpose. The arts are far-reaching and you'll never know if you were able to touch someone and change a life for the better without ever knowing you did. What are you waiting for? Find some craft shows in Alabama today!
