Friends of the Conant Public Library Arts and Crafts Show

Shoppers are invited to the Houghton and Chocksett Schools, 32 Boutelle Road, Sterling, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 22, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. High-quality gift and holiday items, handmade by talented local artisans, will fill the cafeterias in both schools.

This popular juried event was held for many years at the First Church in Sterling. The new location will satisfy demand for space for additional artists and craftspeople. Most of the vendors from previous fairs will be returning, along with some new ones.

Returning artisans will offer alpaca products, aromatherapy, baskets, beach glass art, skincare items, candles, caned chairs, cork products, crochet items, embellished flannel shirts for kids and adults, felt products, floral items and wreaths, jams and jellies, jewelry, ornaments, plant gardens, pottery, rope bowls, wind chimes, Zen catchers, wood products, and more. New items this year include maple syrup, pet pictures and products, olive oil and sambal sauces, books and cards, decoupage, candles in vintage teacups, and custom wreaths.

The bake sale, cheese sale, raffle, and lunch café will continue in the new location.

Admission to the fair is $2, which supports programs at the Conant Public Library. Shoppers will receive a Passport they can have stamped in three locations, then enter for a prize drawing.

All One Credit Union is a co-sponsor of this year's fair.

The vendor spaces are full, but you can send an email to Beth Cyr at sterlingcraftfair@gmail.org to be placed on the waiting list and to receive information about next year's fair.
