Yaak School Arts & Crafts Fair July 1
June 12, 2017
The 5th annual Yaak School Arts and Crafts Fair will be held on Saturday, July 1, 2017 from 11AM to 5PM.
On display by local vendors will be photographs, pottery, hand-made jewelry, crocheted rugs and critters, original note cards, log furniture, wood carvings, hand-crafted soaps and lotions, antique maps and books.
Other offerings will include a silent auction, free activities for children beginning at 12:30PM and an exhibit by Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. Lunch will be available from Troy's Preview Cafe, and the Yaak Women's Club will sponsor a bake sale. The proceeds from this event will help fund student field trips.
The one-room log Yaak School House was built in 1932 by local area residents. Two additions were constructed in subsequent years to provide bathrooms, a library and office, but the basic structure has not changed.
"We have an excellent teacher, knowledgeable clerk and hard-working board of trustees. Our K - 8 school provides a good basic education to children in the valley who have gone on to become teachers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, engineers, musicians, nurses and researchers. We are proud of our school, staff and students," the event press release states.
The Yaak School is located 45 minutes from Troy, Montana. Driving from Troy, take US Hwy 2 west and turn right (north) onto MT Hwy 508 (Yaak River Road). The Yaak School House is located between mile marker 30 and 31.
