FAIR — Oct. 1, 2011
Crafty Bastards
Marie Reed Learning Center (18th & Wyoming) in the Adams Morgan neighborhood

Other highlights include: Young & Crafty, featuring the work of young artists between the ages of 9-18, Food Craft, celebrating the burgeoning DIY food movement, a DIY Salon, hosting the area's best culinary talent as they teach craft food techniques, a Crafty Food Market displaying and serving great artisanal food, and Crafty Food Awards, crowning the city’s best food crafters.
