CALENDAR
Many people would describe themselves as artistic if asked, but, re-
ally, the biggest part of truly being artistic is being creative. Luckily,
if you have writer’s, artist’s or crafter’s block, this year’s 2nd Star
Festival is inviting you to come “Get Hooked on Art!” The theme of
the festival, held at Dorris Ranch in Springfield, is “Find Your Creative
Spark!” The two-day event is filled with all sorts of artistic endeav-
ors, boasting about 100 artisans, authors, illustrators and commu-
nity booths, according to its website. There will also be workshops, a
“Steampunk Museum,” a tiny home to tour and musical performanc-
es. The festival is open to people of all ages. “Our grassroots mission
is to take adults and children alike to a land beyond,” says an
email from festival founders Kesha and Matt Hawk. “Once you step
through our gates, you will enter into a Land of Inspiration, where all
forms of creativity, music, and dance are celebrated and shared.”
2nd Star Festival is 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 5
and 6, at Dorris Ranch (205 Dorris Street, Springfield). Tickets are
$8-$10 for a day pass, or $13-$15 for both days. Children 12 and
under are FREE. — Meerah Powell
