ARTS AND CRAFTS FESTIVAL CANCELED; CAPAHA CAPERS ON

The Arts and Crafts Festival scheduled for today and Sunday at Capaha Park has been canceled.

The Parks and Recreation Department received registrations from only six crafters, according to Jeff Thurman, recreation programmer for the department.

"We need at least 10 to make it worthwhile for people to come out," Thurman said.

Last year's bad weather may have discouraged some people from registering for this year's festival, Thurman said.

Capaha Capers, a children's arts festival, will be held as scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at the park.

Thurman said the Arts and Crafts Festival will be held next year, though it may be moved indoors.
