Nappanee arts festival again named tops in state

Sunshine Artist magazine ranks Amish Acres Arts and Crafts Festival the top festival in Indiana for the second year in a row. Last year, Senior Group Traveler magazine selected the Amish Acres event as the only Indiana festival of the 92 chosen nation wide, and Courier magazine of the National Tour Association named the whole of Amish Acres the third-best discovery of the 97 recommended for motor coach tours in 1997. The 36th edition of the popular event is scheduled for August 6-9, at the historic restoration. Over 365 artists and craftsmen have been selected by jury from over 900 applicants to comprise the 1998 edition of the area’s largest arts and crafts marketplace, which surrounds the historic farm’s pond and restored buildings. Their best pieces will be reserved for the competition tent, where over $7,000 in cash prizes will be awarded by two area judges. The winners’ cash will be divided between two and threedimensional work, with a SI,OOO Best of Show purchase prize going to the winner in each category. Additional winners of S2OO for first, SIOO for second, and SSO for third in each of 11 categories will be honored with flags flying above their booths. Equal prizes will be given for total booth presentation and most popular awards, as voted by the festival’s visitors. The two professionals chosen to judge the entries in the competition tent are Max Gwin, a Nappanee native and professional cartoonist, perhaps best known for his syndicated comic strip “Slim and Spud,” and Jack Appleton, South Bend, a graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago, whose paintings grace the walls of many private collections. Mr. Appleton is well known in Northern Indiana for his annual official calendar of the University of Notre Dame. Both judges were selected for the on-going role they play in the art world of their
