Fall Artisan Days set at The Shoppes at Miller's

Miller's Smorgasbord will celebrate its 95th anniversary with Fall Artisan Days, which will provide visitors an opportunity to meet some Lancaster County artisans and experience their craftsmanship firsthand.

Every Saturday in October, from 1 to 4 p.m., guests can visit The Shoppes at Miller's to engage with local artisans, discover one-of-a-kind creations and enjoy fall family fun. The Shoppes at Miller's includes Anna's Gifts & Sundries, Locally Made Food Shop, the Quilt Shop at Miller's, Ruthie's and Miller's Smorgasbord.

On the patio at Miller's Smorgasbord and within the Quilt Shop, a select group of local artisans will showcase their work and demonstrate their craft each Saturday.

Featured on Oct. 5 will be hand-painted Amish scenes on glass and wood by Tina Knox, along with Olio Olive Oils & Balsamics. Anthony Iezzi, who photographs Lancaster scenes, will be featured on Oct. 12.

Featured on Oct. 19 will be Lancaster County Shirt Company, a local apparel company that creates unique local themed shirts, and Lingerlong Woodworking, which will offer handcrafted sustainable wood cutting boards, trivets and more. Handcrafted freeze-dried confections by the local Beiler family will also be offered on Oct. 19. Lone Pine Road Designs By Sarah, which offers intricate, handcrafted jewelry designs, will be featured on Oct. 26.

The Quilt Shop at Miller's will have a local quilter doing hand quilting demonstrations on each Saturday.

Each week, attendees will have the chance to win a handcrafted cutting board from Lingerlong Woodworking. Shoppers can enter the giveaway during their visit.

In addition, local author Jimmy Rosen will sign copies of his latest book, "Lost Service Stations of Central Pennsylvania," on both Oct. 12 and 26. The book features Miller's Smorgasbord and Stuckey's. Attendees will be able to view the Stuckeymobile and enjoy free samples of Stuckey's pecan rolls.
