Maxine McKinney (pictured above in the middle) was an original club member more than 60 years ago. She and others organized the very first Lenoir City Arts & Crafts Festival. Pictured left to right are Jan Johnson, Maxine McKinney and President Sheila Woody. Submitted

As the weather begins to warm up and the days get longer, Lenoir City comes alive with excitement. Although this small town may not be the largest or the most populated, the community makes up for it through collective creativity.

One of Lenoir City’s unique events is the Annual Arts and Crafts Fair Festival, which is set to take place at Lenoir City Park in the first week of June.
