Fido is welcome — on a leash, of course — to come get fitted at the Lawrence Arts and Crafts Festival this Sunday.

Mother-daughter duo Patricia Meyer and Lisa Willard co-own Paws Pleas, a local business that produces hand-sewn items for cats and dogs. They make things such as bandanas, placemats, stockings and, for the humans, back seat covers for tidy travel. They also grow their own catnip for treats.

Willard, 28, has limited job options because of her cerebral palsy, but she can use some electronic equipment — such as her sewing machine. Meyer said this is an operation they can run together, and her husband, Ken, handles the business’ finances and website.

Meyer and Willard are just two of more than 130 artists and exhibitors who plan to attend the South Park festival, in its 36th year, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, according to Duane Peterson, special events supervisor with Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

Peterson said the event tends to draw artists who tour the Midwest, and it will be a great opportunity to check out unique items. Just a few of the things artists said they’re bringing include a wide range of accessories, artwork and photography, and various decor for every room of the house as well as the garden, toys and clothing.

One of the most unique exhibits, Peterson said, will be Barbara Anderson’s cigar box guitars.

“It’s something different,” he said. “We’ve never had anything like that at all.”

Anderson taught primary school for 30 years and said it’s not a challenge to learn to play her three- and four-string cigar box guitars. They’re played with a slide, and she’s marked chords on the frets so “you can just slide up and down it with your slide and strum, and you can sing along with whatever you want to play.”

“It was always fun to bring instruments into the classroom, and this was something that was very easy for (the kids) to play,” she said.

Peterson said the event has become more than an arts and crafts show, however. They have planned plenty of live entertainment and activities for kids.

“We’ll have a children’s arts and crafts booth, where they can actually do hands-on arts and crafts projects,” he said, noting there will also be mini-horse pony rides and a bounce house.

Peterson said the menu is extensive, as vendors will have steakburgers, brats, hot dogs, shaved ice and more, plus some of the exhibitors will have baked goods and desserts for sale.

Motorists, beware: Massachusetts Street will be closed between North Park and South Park streets for the festival.

The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department will still take artists’ reservations until 3 p.m. Friday. For more information, call 832-7940.
