<span style="font-family: inherit;">As we began to plan our 2020 show this past January, visions of candy corns danced in our heads. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Within weeks, things quickly changed. Like us, many events have had to wait, and adapt under these trying circumstances.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="display: block; font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
The health and safety of our artists, fans, and collectors must and will come first. As of today, we plan to move forward with our show this Fall. We hope that it will be safe to proceed, based on guidance from our state an<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">d local officials. We will implement all recommended safety procedures.<br />Until then, we will look forward. This year we celebrate 25 years of Halloween Art in Petaluma. We have an impressive lineup of artists who share with me, the true spirit of Halloween, and all of the fun and magic it can bring. </span></div>
<div style="display: block; font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br />All Hallow’s Art Fest is scheduled for September 26th at Hermann Sons Hall in Petaluma, California. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stephanie Sherratt, a Petaluma native, dedicates herself to producing one of the best Halloween Art and Collectible shows in the West. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.allhallowsartfest.com/">All Hallow's Art Fest</a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">is an annual event in Petaluma, drawing fans from across the country for what many consider to be the kick-off of the Halloween season. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Held in Historic Hermann Sons Hall, the All Hallow's Art Fest gathers some of the best Halloween artists in the United States. Coming together each year, these artists take particular care to create and present a magical Halloween wonderland. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The All Hallow's Art Fest takes place on Saturday, September 29th at Hermann Sons Hall in Petaluma California - <a href="http://www.allhallowsartfest.com/">CLICK HERE</a> for more show information. </span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">We asked Stephanie to take a moment out of her busy Halloween planning schedule to answer a few questions about the show, the artists, and the magic that is All Hallow's Art Fest</span></i></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Q. This show must be a huge commitment each year, where does your love of Halloween come from?</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie:</span> I would say my "love" of Halloween may be more of an obsession at this point. Of course, I have fond childhood memories of Halloween and that nostalgia has spilled over into my business - <i>Paper Fabric Glitter. </i> I begin working on my wholesale orders and show creations in January. My Halloween paper kits and assemblages are amongst my best sellers. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I became the show producer, I became completely immersed in Halloween all year! My husband Bill is very supportive and is never phased by the jack-o-lanterns and black cats that start appearing in January. Come September, my entire family gets involved, it really does take a village to produce a show like this. Fortunately, I have great group of friends and family who all lend a hand to make things run smoothly each year. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Q: How do you select artists for this annual show?</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie:</span> I work with a committee from the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Halloween Folk Art Society to jury in the best Halloween artists for the show. Many artists are crowd favorites and return year after year. Each year we also try to have new <i>up-and-coming</i> artists. Part of my job is to make sure we have Halloween Art and Collectibles in a a variety of mediums to keep the show exciting for our fans and collectors. </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Q. Obviously this annual show is a huge draw for fans of Halloween, can you explain why the fans of this show seem to be so dedicated?</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie:</span> The tradition of a Halloween show in Petaluma is long-standing. I often hear from fans that they wait all year to attend the show, many times attending with family members or friends and often in elaborate costumes. The atmosphere in Hermann Sons Hall on show day is electric, it's truly exciting and I think that is part of why people really look forward to this show each year. Many fans have a particular theme or item they collect. One avid fan has over 200 pieces of owl-themed art that she has collected from the show in Petaluma over the years. </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Q: The displays of Art and collectibles are amazing, how long does it take to get the hall ready for the show?</span><span style="color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="clear: left; color: #674ea7; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">Stephanie</span><span style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">Artists start setting up their displays on the Friday before the show. All of the artists take a very professional approach, and most have detailed displays and decorations to accent their art pieces. By 5 o'clock that night, the entire hall is decorated, ready for Saturday, and it is truly a wonderful sight. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;">Q: Why do people collect Halloween Art?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie:</span> Store-bought Halloween decorations just don't measure up to the one-of-a-kind art pieces that are offered at the show. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First-time attendees of the show often comment on the originality of the work and the breathtaking displays. Halloween Collecting has been around for a long time, but the supply of true vintage Halloween is limited and the demand is high. The nostalgia and charm of vintage Halloween is often captured by the artists in new work at the show which makes it so popular and collectible. I think the popularity of Halloween art is <i>one-part </i>love of all things Halloween, and <i>one-part</i> nostalgia for Halloweens past. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Q: Some shows offer pre-buy opportunities, is this something you would ever consider?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie:</span> This question comes up a lot, as other shows do. The show in Petaluma has traditionally been a one-day-only event and many collectors and fans travel considerable distances to attend. I feel that a pre-buy, in this case, would leave some fans disappointed, and may even dilute the excitement of opening the doors to the show on Saturday morning. We do give away a limited number of "private viewing" passes, however. The Friday night private viewing allows fans to see the artists booths before the shopping commences on Saturday. It's a fun way to mix and mingle with the artists, even though there is no buying or selling allowed at this Friday night event. We also post heavily on Social Media the night before the show, to give fans and collectors sneak peeks of what to expect once the doors open the next day. Ultimately, this show really is a tradition on Saturday and the fans would like it to stay this way. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Q: Petaluma seems like a fun town, does the show tie into any other events on the weekend of September </span><span style="color: #38761d;">29th?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie:</span> Petaluma is my home town, and I love that its convenient location lends itself to so many opportunities for good dining, visiting nearby wineries, or event taking a trip to the coast. The Sunday following the All Hallows Art Fest is the Fall Petaluma Antique Faire - always a big draw, this antique fair takes place in the heart of Petaluma and there are always fantastic antiques and treasures to be found. Many of the artists from the show can be seen browsing the booths at the antique fair the next morning. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Q. Do you have any advice for people attending the show for the first time this year?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Stephanie: </span>We have tons of show tips and suggestions on our blog including tips for shopping and attending the show. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I always tell first-timers to <i>follow their heart </i>when it comes to selecting an art piece or decoration. If a particular art piece calls to you...BUY IT! because it won't be there when you go back. That's the thrill of the hunt, and one of the reasons for the shows popularity! </span><span style="font-size: large;">I also recommend that anyone planning to attend the show join the Halloween Folk Art Society Facebook group. Joining the Halloween Folk Art Society is a great way to learn more about Halloween collecting and Halloween artists, and to network with other show attendees. </span><br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Knowing how to navigate the show's <u>two rooms</u> is key to having a successful day. The following show tips will assist you in making your most of this year's show!</h4>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #1:</span> Maps locating artists in <i><u>both rooms</u></i> are available at the door.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #2:</span> : Plan to visit your favorite artists first. Once inside the show it can be difficult to focus, and it's easy to get side-tracked. Artists take pride in creating amazing displays to show off their wares and it can be overwhelming for first-time attendees. Buying from your favorites first allows you time to browse the rest of the show at your leisure. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #3:</span> It is not uncommon to make several circuits between the two rooms discovering new and exciting pieces each time - attendees are encouraged to stay for several hours just to soak in the exciting atmosphere and shop each booth repeatedly. You will be amazed at how many "new discoveries" you make each time you tour the rooms.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #4:</span> First time at the show? Avoid the initial line and crowds and try shopping at lunch time. A lull in the activity will allow you time to browse and familiarize yourself with what each artist has to offer.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip # 5:</span> Artists often give away postcards or creative business cards at their booths. Collect cards from artists you love. All Hallow's Art Fest is an annual show, collecting cards and information from your favorite artists will help you make selections at next-years show.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #6: </span>Look for new up-and-coming artists. Each year several new artists are added to the show list. Pay close attention to new mediums and art pieces. Adding to your collection before an artist becomes highly collectible is a technique used by many seasoned collectors.<br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #7:</span> Take time to chat with the artists. Afternoons are a great time to visit with your favorite artist. Artists love to meet collectors and fans of Halloween. Learning about the artist behind the work can make favorite collectibles even more special.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Show Tip #8</span>: Join the Halloween Folk Art Society, an online Halloween group dedicated to sharing the magic and mystery of Halloween Art and Collectibles. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=halloween%20folk%20art%20society">CLICK HERE </a>to learn more about the society and it's members.<br />

The History of the Halloween Card~</h4>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Halloween postcards were first printed in the mid-1800's. Most cards were printed between the late 1800s and the 1920s in countries like England, the United States, and Germany.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px;">The most highly collected Halloween postcards were published by John O. Winsch of New York sometime between the years of 1911 and 1915. Beautifully embossed with rich colors, Winsch sent his cards to Germany to be printed. Rare and highly prized postcards are signed by the artists. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With a nod to Halloween's Pagan holiday roots, many collectible cards feature anthropomorphic veggie men and pumpkin heads.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A great majority of cards also depict fall scenes which draws a direct comparison between the modern holiday and its roots in agriculture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the holiday evolved over the years, more themes eventually established themselves in Halloween cards, costumes and decorations. Masks and spooky costumes began to gain popularity as children set out to frighten away the ghoulish spirits rumored to wander the streets on Halloween night. Soon after, trick-or-treating became customary, and some of the earliest Halloween cards were inscribed with the phrase, "Trick-or-Treat!"</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Today, original Halloween cards have become classic collectors items. Cards can be picked up for as little as $2 and $3 each at thrift stores and estate sales. Highly prized Halloween postcards can be purchased on Ebay with bids sometimes exceeding $300.<br />
<br />
Although these delightful Halloween postcards have been replaced with modern greeting cards, Halloween still remains one of the largest card sending occasions in America with approximately<br />
30 million Halloween cards sent each year.<br />

All Hallow's Art Fest - Halloween Art Show</h3>
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The following Halloween Hacks and tips are designed to help you to get the most from your Art Show experience. <br />
<a name='more'></a>All full list of artists and show information can be found on the </div>

</h4>
<h3>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Traveling to the show</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are flying in to to attend the All Hallow's Art Fest you can choose between San Francisco International Airport or Oakland International Airport. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rental Car pickup is easy at both airports and the town of Petaluma is approximately 45 - 1.5 hours away depending on traffic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #1 </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Plan to arrive mid morning or early Friday afternoon. Rush hour traffic can delay your arrival to Petaluma as much as 2 hours. Enjoy our town!</span></span><br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Where to Stay</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The town of Petaluma has a finite amount of lodging available. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Click <a href="http://www.visitpetaluma.com/lodging">HERE</a> to see a list of lodging options. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #2</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Book your hotel early or visit Airbnb or VRBO for great lodging alternatives. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">Nearby towns of Santa Rosa and Sonoma also offer plenty of additional lodging and are only 15 - 20 minutes away. </span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Attending the show-Saturday September 23, 2017</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: large;">Held only once a year, the All Hallow's Art Fest tends to draw a crowd, and for very good reason. Highly collectible artists and amazing one-of-a-kind art create an exciting and fevered atmosphere during the first few hours of the show. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #3</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Show up early.... as the saying goes <i>"you can sleep when you are dead"</i> lining up outside the show several hours early will ensure that you can get to your favorite artists first and get "first pick" if you are so inclined. </span> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">For years, Hermann Sons Hall has lent a historic vibe to this show. Artists are divided into two rooms; </span><span style="color: #4c1130;">the main hall and the Raven Room. Many artists have lines of "reproductions" which are sold in stores. All of the artwork at this show, however, is original and </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">one-of-a-kind. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #4</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> The show's brochure and map are handed out at the door. Serious shoppers in the know travel in pairs and study the layout before entering the hall - often strategizing and splitting up to visit two artist tables at once. This is a fantastic opportunity to pick up one-of-a-kind art from some highly collectible artists. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: large;">With over 31 dedicated Halloween Artists and their displays, there is plenty of Halloween inspiration to see and study. The overall atmosphere of this show is absolutely magical and inspiring. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #5</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Go with the flow. It's important to remember that there is more than enough Halloween goodness to go around. If it wasn't such a good show - there wouldn't be as many people. Live in the moment and enjoy the festive atmosphere. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: large;">Not only do artists bring their best work to this show, many also spend hours creating unique displays and inspired settings for their art pieces. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #6</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Take your time and make several passes through the rooms. There is so much to see, and new things are often discovered when you take a second look. Some artists prefer not to have their artwork photographed - always ask before snapping photos of something you like. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: large;">After the first "rush" at opening, the crowd thins out a bit but remains steady throughout the day. There is more than enough art and collectibles to make showing up mid-morning/late afternoon worth your while. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">HALLOWEEN HACK #7</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Have your hand stamped before leaving and you can return to the show at any time. Beverages and quick snacks can be found in the Raven Room if you need immediate re-fueling. Ray's Deli and Tavern, located across the street from the hall, offers coffee and soda as well as alcoholic beverages and a great assortment of deli foods. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Many All Hallow's</span><span style="color: #4c1130;"> artists post images of works in progress as they prepare for the show. Although some popular artists have participated at Hermann Sons hall for over 10 years, new Halloween artists can always discovered at the </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The show is divided into two rooms - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">T<b>he Main Hall and the Raven Room. </b>Shoppers generally stay at the show for at least 2-3 hours, taking several turns around the rooms in order to see everything, pick the Halloween art pieces that call to them, and chat with the artists and fellow collectors.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This once a year event can draw the crowds, especially during the first few hours, and with an average of 31 dedicated Halloween artists, the amount of unique Halloween art and collectibles can be a bit overwhelming but WORTH IT!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Once again we recommend an early night - in preparation for the Sunday Petaluma Antique Faire.</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">DAY 3- THE PETALUMA ANTIQUE FAIRE</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As with any Antique Faire - the early bird gets the worm... plan to be at the <a href="http://www.acrecoffee.com/">Acre Coffee</a> on 4th St. around 7:15 a.m. Grab a quick bite to eat and one of their excellent coffee or tea drinks to fortify yourself - then head out and start shopping.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The Faire is officially opened from 8am - 4pm. The Faire is held on Fourth, Kentucky & Western Streets. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Expect to find great deals and steals - a variety of dealers offer everything from French Country Chic to the contents of grandma's attic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Make a second pass through the faire as the relaxed Petaluma atmosphere usually means some dealers are still putting goods out as late at 10 a.m.</span><br />
