To mark the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, the National Endowment for the Arts will celebrate the rich history, culture, and heritage of the arts in our country at the Great American State Fair, taking place June 25-July 10, 2026, at the National Mall in Washington, DC.

I am deeply honored to announce that I have been invited by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Meridian Center for Culture & Sports Diplomacy to represent Appalachia and Traditional Appalachian Craft through Broom Making at the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington D.C.

I will be presenting on July 7th & 8th on the Legacy Stage in front of the Smithsonian Castle.
