It is often said that Kansas means "People of the Wind", and it was derived from the original Indian settlers in our great State. Why were they called the people of the wind? Perhaps it was the occasional twister that ravaged the area. Maybe it was the way they lived their life; I imagined them living with a fast pace, doing everything they can as much as they can.
Whether or not they lived that way then, it is true that in this day and age, the farms of Kansas are anything but swift. Here life crawls to a comfortable pace, going slowly but smoothly. So, naturally, people here go and find many things that pre-occupy them in their spare time. Most often, the people of Kansas find time to enter crafts making.
One will find plenty of diversities in the crafts that people make here in Kansas. From the natural beauty of finely carved wood sculptures to the intricacy of textiles, Kansas has everything that you would want in crafts. And what better way to admire those crafts than in one of the many craft shows occurring in Kansas this year?
Because craft shows happen in droves every single day, you'll be well-advised to know beforehand which shows to go to. Not all of the will be worth your while, as some will have lousy organizing. But how can you tell which will cater to your interests best? The best way is to go on the Information Superhighway that is the Internet.
Of course, you're online as of this moment. That makes it much easier! Just go to a search engine (Google or Yahoo! works) and search for Kansas Craft Fairs and you'll very soon have a number of websites that keep a list of all fairs that are scheduled to take place within the year. - 15790
