Running on May 12th from 10 a.m.—5 p.m. and May 13th from 10 a.m.—4:30 p.m., the event will feature some of the most talented craftsmen in the region, spotlighting a variety of handmade items from traditional crafts to modern creations.

Local Love Story Brought to you by The Inn at Bowman’s Hill: Patty and Ed
Ed was living in Jenkintown. Patty was living in Westfield, NJ. They met in Birmingham, AL. They drove through Doylestown for a year and a half to see each other. Ed said, “I want to live closer to you, like across-the-living-room close.” Because of her NJ clients and his Lansdale employer, Doylestown seemed like the right spot on the map, but they had never seen any more of it than Route 202.
She made a reservation at Russell’s (currently known as The Knight House) for his birthday dinner. Not many Doylestown restaurants were on the web yet in 1998, so it was an easy choice. They were treated like royalty, and fell in love with the restaurant and with State Street. Patty and Ed rented a house in the borough a few months later.
On a cold February day, they moved in the first two carloads, the essentials they would need to live here while they emptied out their two homes. In jeans and sweatshirts, around 5 pm on a Saturday, they headed out to find a sandwich shop. They spotted a “French Bistro” in the basement of the Agricultural Works building, where Slate Bleu is today. (more…)
