fishing boat on Lake GuntersvilleWill you be spending the weekend on Lake Guntersville April 17-18? Once you’ve caught your daily limit of fish, enjoy some time onshore in the community of Guntersville.

Art on the Lake, sponsored by Twenty-First Century Club of Guntersville, will feature 120 booths full of the works of local and regional artists and craftsmen. The event will also offer rides, games and a bake shop. Pick up treasures to go with your trophy fish while your kids burn off a little energy. The event benefits a scholarship program for local high school graduates, so bring the whole family and enjoy the gorgeous April weather.

The event runs Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Attendees ages 13 and older pay $2 admission.
