A wine and cheese preview will celebrate the opening of the event on Friday, Nov. 7, from 6 to 9 p.m. for $25 per person.

The craftsmen show hours are Saturday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost for admission each day is $8.

The show has attracted additional artists, so a larger venue was necessary to house everyone under one roof.

This event showcases 35 award-winning and nationally known artists and craftsmen offering their work for sale. Many of the creations are inspired by the traditions, methods and styles of the early American craftsmen. Featured works include pottery, wood carvings, painted furniture, textiles, holiday folk art and more. Spend time chatting with your favorite artists and meet some new ones while enjoying wonderful home baked goods and refreshments.

Lounsbury House is located at 316 Main St., Ridgefield. All admission fees benefit the historic Lounsbury House.
