War Eagle Fair, located in Hindsville, AR, is a renowned arts and crafts fair with a rich history. Established in 1954 by Blanche Elliott, the fair was inspired by a successful weaving course in the War Eagle River valley. Held in the fall to showcase the vibrant beauty of the Ozarks foliage, the fair quickly became a popular event.

The first fair took place in the living rooms of local ladies and featured a wide range of handcrafted products including rugs, leather craft, pottery, baskets, quilts, and jewelry. Maintaining a commitment to tradition and quality, the fair continues to require handmade items from exhibitors in the Ozarks area. In 1957, the fair's success led to the establishment of the non-profit organization, Ozark Arts and Crafts Fair Association, responsible for its operation.

The fair is self-sustaining and all profits are reinvested in its operations, with extra funds supporting scholarships at local universities. With its fascinating history and dedication to craftsmanship, War Eagle Fair is a must-visit for arts and crafts enthusiasts
