Brushes & Bales: Arts & Crafts Day at The Hillside Hayloft

It’s back! 

Brushes & Bales: Arts & Crafts Day at the Hillside Hayloft, hosted by Fertile, MN native and FBHS alum, Dawn (Berg) Duncan 

Join us for a day of creativity in the countryside! Set inside a historic barn — over one hundred years old — just outside Fertile, Minnesota, this event is a true sampler platter of arts and crafts, designed for every skill level, from first-timers to seasoned artists.

Throughout the afternoon, you’ll get hands-on with watercolor painting, acrylic painting, and a festive autumn craft — plenty of chances to explore new mediums and create pieces that celebrate the season, made to take home and treasure.

Browse and shop from a curated selection of local vendors, with unique art pieces available for purchase. Snacks and refreshments will be provided throughout the day, plus pie and coffee in the afternoon.

Come experience the charm of the countryside, the character of a century-old barn, and all the beauty of a Minnesota autumn.
