For the tenth time, we will again have crafters join us on October 20th, 2012, in providing wonderful, unique, and creative crafts to enjoy -- and just in time for selecting unique one-of-a-kind Christmas presents. We usually have 28 to 30 outside crafters join us. We include only "hand-made", "home made", or "hand-painted" items, so visitors will not see any mass-produced items that you can get just anywhere.

Following are some photos from the 2010 Craft Fair (and some from previous years)[photos from 2011 will be up soon; we're redoing this website with a different program so the changes will delay getting new photos up], so you will know what to expect this next craft fair in 2012. Besides the crafts, soups, and the baked goods, we also offer some raffles, which are explained at the bottom of the last page, page 5.]

We expect the Thomas Massey House will again be celebrating their annual "Harvest Festival" at the same time as our Craft Fair. They will again present many attractions and events, such as Colonial re-enactments (demonstrations) of blacksmithing, wood working, butter making, ink making, cooking, weaving, stenciling on cloth, colonial lighting, and apple-butter making along with story telling. They plan to be open for tours from 11a.m. through 4 p.m., weather permitting. For more information about these things, go to their web site: marplehistoricalsociety.org/ and click on 1696ThomasMasseyHouse. They have had their Harvest Festival on the same day as our Craft Fair for several years now, with the combined effort bringing in around 300-500 people.
