CARY - All day this Saturday, Bond Park will be filled with arts and crafts for Cary's Spring Daze. Lyman Collins, Cary's cultural arts manager, says artists of all kinds from around North Carolina will be gathered, with extra events for those looking for different kinds of entertainment.

"In addition to seeing great crafts and artists, you can also enjoy three different stages where we provide a variety of music throughout the festival," Collins says. "And there'll be great food."

Also at Spring Daze will be this year's featured artist, Preston Montague. Collins says Montague was selected because of his emphasis on North Carolina wildlife.

"His artwork primarily focuses on botanicals. He's done a whole series of artworks that feature North Carolina native plants and animals," Collins says. "He has a whole series of letters spelled out with native plants."

Montague also created the artwork for the posters and promotional materials for this year's Spring Daze.

Not only will Bond Park have booths for North Carolina artists to show off their crafts, but Collins says there are groups promoting the area's non-profit arts organizations.

"Anywhere from 20 to 30 different arts organizations or arts groups will be there to put out information about what they do in the community," he says. "Either in terms of upcoming events that they might have or special programs or ways for people to get involved."

There will be two shuttles going to the Spring Daze sight, coming from the parking lots at the Cary Town Hall and Greenhope High School. More information on events and times are at townofcary.org or at facebook.com/CaryArtDaze.
