>If our plans hold out we will be in Berea, Kentucky on either Friday or Saturday of the coming weekend. I've read enough to know I want to look up Brian Bogg's and Kelly Mehler's shops, any other can't miss spots that you would recommend? I found the Berea website, looks like they will be having a craft fair this weekend, should be interesting. We are mainly going to visit my wife's family in Lexington, but I worked in a neat little side trip.

>Moses,

A Berea craft show, especially a juried show, can be great. I agree with Rusty about Warren May's place. If he's still there, Charles Harvey's shop in old town Berea is another place to visit, although I don't know if his business survived the tornado that wrecked his building. Visiting Berea College can also be fun, and be sure to eat at the college restaurant. The name escapes me right now. I suspect they still require jackets, but they'll provide one for you. Finally, don't forget Don Weber. I took a workshop with him years ago in Berea, long before he moved to Paint Lick, KY which is not too far from Berea and Richmond.

Enjoy your visit,

Michael
