The library has previewed a couple of artists that will be featured at the fair on its Facebook page. Gary Datka, an artist who makes use of wood turning for his work, will make an appearance, according to a post from the library.

"I have always enjoyed working with wood. For the past 10 years I have been lucky enough to be selling my crafted projects. I like to be creative with what I have, be it a trunk of a tree, a branch, or flat boards," Datka said in the Facebook post.

Barbara Friedman, a local painter, will also be featured at the fair.

"I love to paint what makes me happy: fruit, flowers, and beautiful objects," Friedman said in the library's Facebook post.
