Cops: Mom allegedly abandoned baby at Hazleton bar

<p>LEHMAN TWP. &#8212; Robert Moss may seem to have a disorganized approach, but he sure comes up with some interesting creations.</p><p>An eclectic assortment of objects such as soup cans, bottle caps, forks, spoons, nails, feathers, wooden alphabet blocks, baseballs and softballs were used to create one of a kind &#8220;junk bots&#8221; at his booth Sunday at the 33rd annual Arts and Hayfield Summer Festival at Penn State Wilkes-Barre.</p><p>Moss, a Lehman Township resident whose business is called &#8220;Art by Robert Chris Moss,&#8221; sat on a stool as he whittled faces out of blocks of basswood. A large assortment of Santas carved out of baseball bats and vintage rolling pins were also part of his collection.</p><p>&#8220;When I sit down to make something, I never have a set plan,&#8221; said Moss, who also won the &#8220;Featured Artist&#8221; award at the Arts and Crafts Show in Bellfonte earlier this month.</p><p>Moss said he became inspired to create art out of carved wood after visiting the Penn State craft fair with his mom over 15 years ago.</p><p>&#8220;I was never at a craft show and never did anything artsy before,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I saw that this was a nice community of people and I thought it was cool.&#8221;</p><p>Roughly 120 artisans and vendors displayed their wares under the brilliant blue sky on the grounds of Penn State&#8217;s Wilkes-Barre Campus. There was something for everyone &#8212; from fall d&#233;cor and gourmet dog treats to pottery, jewelry and homemade soaps and jam.</p><p>The event also included live entertainment, a variety of food trucks, children&#8217;s activities and tours of the historic Hayfield House and Friedman Observatory.</p><p>&#8220;I love coming here ever year,&#8221; said Mollie Gisolfi, of Duryea, who bought silver earrings and some homemade spinach dip. &#8220;It&#8217;s become a tradition for my mom and me and it keeps getting better every year.&#8221;</p><style>
