Craftsmen's Guild Formed to Promote Handicrafts in West Virginia
The West Virginia Artists and Craftsmen's Guild was formed to promote handmade crafts and improve quality across the state. Richard Sebaacke of New Martinsville is first president with Ronald Thomas of Charlestown as vice president and David C. Callaghan of the Department of Commerce as secretary treasurer. The guild will assist craftsmen, approve products for sale under guild sanction, and support local craft initiatives following the success of the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair at Cedar Lakes. The piece also notes a separate incident where Krueger was fined $10 for tumultuous conduct after being cited for using a siren in his car.
