The Artists and Artisans have been selected, the booths have been assigned, the map is drawn, and set up begins soon for the unique arts and crafts festival in the nation--we do it all. From the powder sugar funnel cakes to the farm wagon rides to Amish Acres farm tour and demonstrations, this event has been created and enhanced by the same family enterprise for the last 46 years!
No where else is the artist and artisan treated
with such attention and supported with more 
marketing
than at this annual Amish Acres event. Vendors come from thirty states
and hundreds of cities, towns, villages, and farms across America.
They compete with each other for over $10,000 in cash prizes for the
best of the best of their creations. Their customers and admirers likewise
come from across the midwest to partake of this summer celebration,
with serious shopping first on their minds. When combined with the
facilities and features of historic Amish Acres, it is a four day celebration
of human ingenuity and creativity.

All festival visitors may register
to win this Picanto 50cc retro Italian Style Scooter. It was designed
after World War II in 1946. So it is appropriate in this 46th year
of the festival that it be the Grand Prize. The winner will be drawn
and announced at the close of the festival on Sunday and need not be
present to win. Because it gets 90 mpg, the winner has no worries about
gas and therefore can spend freely at the festival. This scooter is
available at Lakeside Marine, Syracuse, Indiana.
The winner
of the scooter is responsible for pick up, title work, licencing, insurance,
and all other requirements by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Amish Acres assumes no responsibilty or liability for the actions of
the winner and makes no representations as to the legality of the winner's
actions.
In addition, $50 VISA Gas cards will
be given away during the festival each day. Winners must be present.
