Local craftsters plan indie music+arts festival

Localists about town, including Diane Toepfer of Ferdinand; her husband Ron Harrity, who runs Peapod Recordings; former Phoenician and current Bollardian Sean Wilkinson; and Noah DeFilippis and Amy Teh, who own the Pinecone+Chickadee design and silkscreening studio, are organizing a juried craft fair scheduled for September 13 in Lincoln Park. 

It’s called Picnic. The “c’s” in its logo look like Pac-Men. Hooray!

Prospective vendors need to apply by August 15 (that’s next Friday!); they’ll be notified by August 22. Approximately 70 vendors will be selected based on: individuality, quality of work, and overall diversity amongst all vendors accepted, according to the organizers. An impressive musical line-up — that includes performances by Dead End Armory, Confusatron, Cougars Kill Cobras, and Rattlesnakes — is already in place.
