EAGLE HARBOR -- Copper Country Associated Artists (CCAA) will host the Eagle Harbor Art Fair this weekend --

The featured artist this year will be watercolor artist

It has been over 50 years that the CCAA is hosting the fair, and it will continue to be as spectacular as ever. More than 60 artist vendors will be selling their wares: photography, pottery, jewelry, painting, woodworking -- just about anything you can think of. Goodies to eat are provided by Eagle Harbor Township to raise money for various projects. There are several lovely hotels in the area and a swimming beach. Restaurants can be found in Eagle Harbor as well as a few miles up or down the road in Eagle River or Copper Harbor. Bring the whole family!
