A
Day For The Memory Books
For
all the charm of its setting
and tradition, people
are the greatest asset of the War Eagle Fair. Exhibitors undergo strict
screening for entry, then must abide by carefully enforced rules and standards.
What they sell are products of their own skill and creativity.
Weavers, woodworkers, carvers, basketmakers, artisans in stained glass, pewter, leather
and scores of other arts and crafts, including oil and acrylic painting, watercolor,
sculpture, metalworking, and photography.

A
second essential group of people are
the customers who come from all over the U.S. Those who come back year after year number in the thousands, and frequently
they have formed close friendships and associations with exhibitors. Add in
the staff, the volunteers and the warmth and hospitality of the people of Northwest
Arkansas and the entire Ozarks region, and you can see why this is very much a "people"
fair.

Planning
Your Trip
The
War Eagle Fair began in 1954 to
showcase arts and crafts. The Board of Directors of the nonprofit association
paid scrupulous attention to quality, went out of their way to revive traditional
crafts and art forms in danger of extinction, offered visitors free admission
and free parking.
While the free admission continues, 2011 will mark the first year that the
Organization will charge for parking.
