Buy a sheet of 10 tickets for $12 and we'll place them in the baskets at random. (If you want to enter for specific prizes, please buy your tickets at the raffle tent.) Remember, the whole festival — including the raffle — is a benefit for Laudholm Trust in support of the Wells Reserve.

The following artisans have been selected by jury to participate in the 23rd Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival. Congratulations to all — we look forward to seeing you in September! (Not selected? You may want to read this.)
Over more than two decades, the Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival has distinguished itself as selective and diverse, making it a premier event on the festival circuit for both vendors and buyers. Each year, we receive many more applications than we can accept. We recognize the disappointment felt by those not selected, so we offer this article to help you increase the likelihood of being selected in another year.
Laudholm Trust announces that application materials are now available for the twenty-third Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival, a highly respected show to be held September 11 and 12 at the stunning Wells Reserve at Laudholm on Maine’s southwestern coast.
About 20 people were in Mather Auditorium on Friday participating in the early stages of creation for the 2009 crafts festival quilt. Five of them are shown here as they arrange squares representing no fewer than 16 different fabrics on the table in the Coastal Resource Library. In a few short months, the quilt will be on display in the Wells Reserve Visitor Center.
(The quilt colors nicely complement that estuarine landscape painting by James Dochtermann, don't they?)
Yesterday was Quilt Day, an annual event bringing together a congenial group of cutters and stitchers to prepare pieces for the quilt that will be raffled at September's "crafts festival.
It's customary for those who have a hand in the work to sign a piece of fabric that is later attached to the finished quilt. Thirty-three people contributed during the 5-hour session in Mather Auditorium. Lynn Jourdan coordinated the wonderful effort.
Thanks to all who participated! We look forward to seeing the finished quilt hung in our Visitor Center this summer.

Outstanding weather greeted thousands of visitors on the first day of the 19th annual Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival. Sunny skies, warm air, and a building breeze created a wonderful atmosphere for browsing and buying. Dramatic clouds appeared early in the afternoon, but never threatened to open. Day two promises to be just as beautiful, but a bit brisker. You might want to bring a sweater.
