POWNAL – When it comes to holiday arts and crafts events, a small section of a small town will have it covered this weekend.

Two of the events – winter holiday sales at Blueberry Ridge Farm and at Fuego Diablo – will be held on Loring Lane on Friday-Sunday, Dec. 5-7. Less than a mile away on Saturday, Dec. 6, Bradbury Mountain Arts will offer its 16th annual holiday show and sale of fine arts at Mallet Hall.

Fine arts also is in the offing at Hawk Ridge Farm on Minot Road, where proprietor June LaCombe hosts a holiday open house featuring photographs of sculpture, on Dec. 6, from 3-5 p.m.

Throw in the annual Spirit of Christmas Fair just a few miles away at the North Pownal United Methodist Church on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5-6, and Pownal will be a shopper’s haven.

“There are a number of creative people in this area,” said Alice Kirkpatrick, a member of Bradbury Mountain Arts. “It’s pretty incredible, if you ask me.”

Kathy and Dick Hogue get things started a 9 a.m. Friday, at 167 Loring Lane. Blueberry Ridge Farm keeps it in the family with this holiday sale, which runs from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. all three days.

“All handcrafts are made by our family members, the seven of us,” Kathy Hogue said. “We love doing this because you have to love it to do this much work. We have kind of a following.”

The talented bunch includes Kathy and Dick Hogue; daughter Erin Hogue and her husband Nate Downs; son Jon Hogue and his wife Hannah Fogg Hogue; Dick Hogue’s sister, Mary Hogue; his mother, Emmy Hogue; and Nate Downs’ sister, Meghan Downs.

The family will have hand-knit items, Christmas decorations, jewelry, stained glass, bees’ wax products and homemade pickles, jellies and jams.

“Our approach is the stuff we make is nature-inspired, and we use all natural materials,” Hogue said. “We spend a lot of time on them, especially in the winter months.”

Blueberry Ridge Farm also will raffle off a collection of the items, the proceeds going to Pownal families who benefit from the Freeport Community Services fuel-assistance fund.

“There’s always a need for fuel assistance,” Kathy Hogue said.

Down the road, at 52 Loring Lane, home of Jamie and Wren Pearson, the Fuego Diablo winter holiday sale is from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., also on all three days. Fuego Diablo is known as the home to monthly art and music events, but art will be the main focus on this occasion.

The Pearsons will feature the works of eight area artists.

“We’re quite different from what everybody else is doing in the neighborhood,” Wren Pearson said. “Bradbury Arts is exquisite, based on the fine arts. We’re a little folksier.”

The Fueglo Diablo sale will include art from Carol Niles of Pownal, mostly of animals, on birch bark.

“They are lovely,” Wren Pearson said.

Paintings by Michael Morin of Pownal and Jamie Hadden of Lisbon, heirloom toys knitted by Kelly Grant of Woolwich, photography by France Shea of Auburn, jewelry and handmade ornaments by Liselle Cushing of Pownal, jewelry by Marcella Estes of Lisbon and Jamie Pearson’s hot sauce, barbecue sauce and “famous pulled pork” sandwiches also will be in the offing.

Less than a mile from Loring Lane, the Bradbury Mountain Arts show is from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, and from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7. Kirkpatrick said it will be the largest such show ever, and will feature paintings, wood turning, jewelry, mixed media, wood and metal sculptures, photography, paper art and fiber arts.

“It’s such a diverse mix,” Kirkpatrick said. “That’s one of the things that make it so fun and exciting each year. We have 18 artists in all. We’re excited about the groups that we have.”

Local Girl Scouts will have lunch and Christmas wreaths for sale.

The Spirit of Christmas Fair at North Pownal United Methodist Church is from 3-8 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday. Santa will be on hand from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday.

There will be crafts, baked goods, a white elephant sale and meals served.

LaCombe specializes in sculpture, and shows the work of more than 40 New England artists.

She has helped clients build their art collections, overseeing selection, delivery, placement and installation of sculpture.
