K-96 June Jaunt Activities: Arts

{This is part 1 of a 9 part introduction series on K-96 June Jaunt activities.}

Now that you've been introduced to all of our fine communities along K-96, we're sure you're ready to begin planning your trip to get you from point A to point B. If you're not sure how to best plan your route for the K-96 June Jaunt, over the next few weeks you can find the events here by categories of interest. These categories will be: Arts, Antiques, Crafts, Cuisine, Family, History, Music, Rural Activities, and Shopping. Use these categories as a guide to find the best activities suited to your interests. Or for a more adventurous traveler feel free to jaunt wherever the wind blows come June 1-3. Our writer for this blog falls more into the first category of planning, but we welcome all types.

If you're an art lover, the K-96 June Jaunt has many activities to make sure you get your art-related fix. The art activities occuring during the June Jaunt include art displays and demonstrations, movies, live theater, and hands-on art like chalk contests for the kids (or kids at heart.)
