On Monday, February 9th, Vaillancourt Folk Art added a new mould to their collection—a rabbit that stands about 3-feet tall. The pouring of this piece took a little extra help—as it is a messy job, the helpers had to be creative in covering their clothes.
The Big Bunny, before being placed into the drying room, weighed in at 100lbs. Judi Vaillancourt is hoping to begin painting this piece to have it complete by Collector’s Weekend 2010.

Don’t forget that tonight (Friday, December 11) is our Annual Men’s Night from 5:00pm – 8:00pm! Vaillancourt Folk Art has been hosting Men’s Night for two decades and many men (and women) have made it a tradition—why not you?. This year, we are fortunate to have some tremendous PR, including WTAG AM-580’s morning personality Jim Polito, so if you haven’t come before or have been thinking about coming, this year will be one not to miss!
Let the Vaillancourt family assist you in starting a tradition with Vaillancourt Chalkware. Sit back and relax with food, beverages and a live German oompah band while your Christmas gift is wrapped for the holiday.
