Cruising Downtown Kerby will yield new discoveries in the arts, taste treats from kitchens and vineyards, and time to socialize with family and friends during another Evening of Art & Wine in Kerby on Friday, Sept. 28, from to 8 p.m..
The second edition of Southern Oregon’s newest “art walk” will feature the opening of a new art exhibit, specially designed jewelry at two sites, fresh fall harvest fair, conversations with the artists, and wine-tasting from valley vineyards.
Visitors at Hampton’s Rock Shop on the south end of the route will learn about this month’s featured stone, Nevada Variscite. They also can peruse handmade jewelry, beads, and mineral specimens of this rare stone, as well as the rest of the Hampton’s extensive lapidary collection.
