Local craftsmen and women lined up along the Riverwalk that runs along the Coosa River on Saturday, selling their handcrafted wares to those who came largely for the music.
“The only thing that we required from our artists is that their items be truly handcrafted,” said Tiffany Robinson, events director for the city. “I think we were able to draw an interesting variety.”
