CANCELLED!!

4th Annual Craft Fair, Saturday September 26th

After much deliberation and talking with the Directors of the Library and the Historical Society, we have decided to cancel the craft fair on Saturday due to the impending storm. We are deeply saddened that this is how things worked out, but unfortunately it does not seem like it will be safe conditions for vendors or patrons to attend.

Hopefully we can plan another similar event soon and invite you all back.
