In the heart of the White Mountains, the Lincoln Summer Craft Festival has a beautiful landscape that serves as inspiration for artists and tourists alike. With craftspeople showcasing everything from lawn chairs to toys, pet products to stained glassed windows, there is something for everyone in Lincoln this weekend.

Tall Corn Festival 
(Fri)2-9, (Sat)9-7, (Sun)9-2 

Embracing the festival's obvious corniness, in the past the Tall Corn Festival has had themes such as "May the Corn be with You," "Cornstock" and "Can you ear me now?" This year's theme is "Corn in the USA." With such awesome catch phrases, how could the festival not be fun? Arts and craft booths will surround Rossville's city park, along with food vendors.

The Morning Glory Festival features 140 fine craft artists exhibiting media in ceramics, glass, leather, wood, photography, jewelry, fiber, enamel, handmade paper, metal and mixed media.
