Saturday, May 10th        10 a.m.   -   5:00 p.m.

Sunday, May 11th          11 a.m.   -   3:00 p.m.

On behalf of the Avon River Heritage Society and the Hants County Arts Council's Board of Directors and our dedicated team of volunteers, we look forward to seeing the artists of Hants County's latest creations!
