Wildwood Creek Fest - location change

Written By Robin Wade

We've moved the event indoors - to the beautiful new Florence/Lauderdale tourism bldg at Mcfarland Park.  With high water levels, let me say again, there really is No Raft Race this year.

All other schedules still on.   The first of 6 bands begin at 5p.  Hope you can all make it.  Oh, just show up, and if you are one of the first 200 to arrive, you get in free!   (Fire marshall is limiting us to 200).

Don't be late, Mayor Haddock will be speaking early (so he doesn't miss the parade), and might just have some interesting things to share.

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
