I’ll be participating as a vendor in the 6th annual Taste of Kutztown on Saturday, June 6, from 12-5pm, now located in the beautiful Kutztown Park. Parking and attendance is free, although tickets are required for wine and beer tasting. Food, shopping, live bands, and wine and beer. What more can you ask for?!

As you may know, I love creating a variety of projects. In my spare time, I trade 1s and 0s for more tactile creations, whether it’s soap, decoupage, stone tiles, a garden — you name it. These projects often come into fruition in the winter, when the first frost leads to my loofah harvest and the approaching holidays beckon for homemade gifts.
In the past I’ve considered these projects as hobbies, but as of December 2013, I have now established Sheila Sacks Designs as a small business. In addition to the winter craft shows I participated in this holiday season, I’ll be expanding to online sales, trunk shows, craft shows, and festivals throughout 2014 and the coming years.
Curious? Visit www.sheilasacksdesigns.com to see what other projects I have available for purchase.
On July 20 from 4-8pm, celebrate the fifth year of Muscle on Main, a local car and motorcycle show hosted by KCP to benefit the revitalization of downtown Kutztown. Vehicle registration is still open, and while West Main Street will be closed, the businesses and vendors will be open for business and free parking for spectators will be available. Enjoy raffle prizes, auctions, and plenty of food and entertainment, including live music by Shake, Rattle and Soul.
For additional details, visit KCP’s website at http://www.keepinitkutztown.com/muscle-main/.
Hope to see you there!
On Saturday, April 27, Friend, Inc. will be hosting its 24th Annual Benefit Auction, featuring multiple silent and live auctions, the ever-so-popular dessert auction, and a catered dinner with drinks.
My husband and I have attended for the last few years, and it has always been a fun way to support not only Friend but the local businesses and individuals who donate items for the event. I encourage you to check it out. At only $35 per ticket, it’s a great way to spend your Saturday evening.
Details and a list of items can be found at www.friendinc.org, and tickets may be ordered by calling 610-683-7790.
The poster to the right is my new design for 2013, and features hex symbols for charity, goodwill, luck, faith, and hope.
There’s nothing quite like a community who supports the arts. Be it featured photographers, plein air painters, or local musicians, it just seems to brighten the whole town. So of course I was thrilled when I learned that Kutztown would be sponsoring a First Friday series, beginning on April 5. The hope is to pair local businesses with different artists and musicians and offer extended hours, pop-up galleries, and live music from 5-8pm.
Kutztown Community Partnership turned to me to design the promotional materials, and so I came up with a fun logo featuring distinctive parts of everything Kutztown — the music, the art, the atmosphere, and of course the heart of the town.
I encourage you to mark First Friday in Kutztown on your calendar, from April through October 2013 and check out www.keepinitkutztown.com for upcoming community events.
