The History of The Pike Road Arts & Crafts Fair
The Pike Road Arts & Crafts Fair was started over 55 years ago by the Pike Road Civic Club ladies. The Civic Club needed a way to raise money for their many charitable endeavors. The Fair started out with the ladies selling items from their own attics and handmade items they themselves made or crafted. The food items sold during the earlier years were peanut butter sandwiches, BBQ their husbands cooked in their backyards, vegetables they grew, picked and cooked, and baked breads, cakes, pies and later our world famous Mocha Nut Squares.
Several years later, the Pike Road Community Club offered their services to help with the Fair and so it began a wonderful partnership between the two clubs.
Over the 55 plus years, the Pike Road Arts & Crafts Fair has grown into one of the largest and oldest outdoor arts and crafts fairs in the Southeast.
