Kick off the Spring trail season on Saturday, April 25 by joining the Mon River Trails Conservancy in celebrating our local Mon River Rail-Trails in Morgantown’s Wharf District (rail-trail mile 10). Enjoy shopping for hand-crafted jewelry, paintings, prints, wood art, and other local artisan products between 12PM-5PM in the Wharf District of Morgantown. Vendors will be located along the rail-trail and 10% of artisan sales will benefit the local rail-trails. In addition to art vendors, there will be live music, crafting tables for all ages, a face painting station, free rental of bikes and kayaks from Morgantown Area Outfitters, food vendors, and more. MRTC will lead a 2-mile walk on the rail-trail at 2pm, meet-up at MRTC tent next to Table 9 restaurant.
Volunteers are needed with set up of tables, tents, and supplies, directing and helping art and food vendors find their locations, and take down at end of day. Other opportunities to help include volunteering at craft tables or taking photos of the event for MRTC social media. Set up starts at 9AM and take down will start at 5PM and typically ends at 5:30PM.
The Handmade Market is a Main Street Morgantown Affiliate event. This event is hosted by MRTC with funding support from the Monongalia County Commission, City of Morgantown, Douglas H. Tanner Memorial Fund for the Arts, Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia, Inc., and Arts Monongahela – Arts Council of Greater Morgantown
