Bill and Anita Schwessinger of Bonita Springs, Fla., below, have extended their annual stay in Wise County to two months after first visiting three years ago. Home Craft Days is one of the must-see events on their tour schedule. Both enjoy old-time music and both are crafters, with husband concentrating on whimsical houses and wife working on collages, such as the one of barns shown. Most of the barn photos were taken locally, she said. PHOTO BY GLENN GANNAWAY.Click Hereto order photo reprints
