John Robson created the Barn Show 29 years ago when he
bought his big old barn along the north branch of the Shenandoah River. The
first year, his beautiful wood work was the only art there. Now, each October,
John and his wife, Sue Rippy, disrupt their home to make room for 14 skillful
vendors. Sue’s gardens are worth the trip in themselves! Well known fine
artist, Margot Bergman, lives right next door and opens her home and studio for
the weekend. And best of all, old crafts – baskets, brooms, silversmithing,
pottery, artistic blacksmithing—join other wood art, paintings, fused and
stained glass art, leather, and textile arts in a charming setting for a
wonderful celebration of art, art, art and community! It’s time to start
thinking about the holidays and to join us for the Barn Show this coming weekend, October 18 and 19, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-4.
There is plenty of parking at John and Sue’s, 16912 Evergreen Valley Road
(Route 617) between Timberville and New Market, Virginia. See you there!
