Applications accepted for Gentry Quilt Show

GENTRY — With the Fall Festival fast approaching, it’s time once again to enter quilts in the annual quilt show.

The quilt show is set for Oct. 9-16 at the Gentry Public Library. The Fall Festival is on Saturday, Oct. 10, and many visitors are expected to view the quilts on that day. But the show will go on, and visitors are expected throughout the following week.

Last year’s show featured more than 85 quilts from across the region, with some being very rare and unique. Show coordinator Janie Parks expects even more quilts to be displayed this year.

Quilt makers may enter modern, antique, miniature and appliqué quilts, either hand- or machine-stitched.

Applications may be picked up at Parks Lumber Co., 121 S. Nelson Street, Gentry.

For more information or application forms, call Janie Parks at 479-936-1498 or 736-2340.
