2025 Event Highlights
3rd Annual Crankie Festival
What are Crankies you ask? They are an old storytelling art form. Start with a long, illustrated scroll that is wound onto two spools. The spools are loaded into a box which has a viewing window. The scroll is then hand-cranked while the story is told, a song is sung, or a tune is played.
As part of the Arts After Dark celebration, we invited artists to bring color, creativity, and a touch of whimsy to our event through yarn bombing—yes, it's as fun as it sounds!
We received vibrant, imaginative proposals for funky fiber installations to wrap our trees in art and wonder. Community Yarn Storm Workshops were held to create a "Community Tree", and ten artists were chosen to help turn the night into a colorful explosion of creativity - one stitch at a time!
