Putting The “Craft” Back In “Craft Show” By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“I think we have a good variety of things for everybody,” remarked Melissa Kreider, vendor coordinator for the annual craft show hosted by the Believers Sunday school class of Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren. For this year’s event, set for Saturday, Oct. 27, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church, 1392 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, Kreider cut back on the number of direct sales representatives in response to shopper feedback. Instead, the event will focus on unique and handcrafted items. All 40 vendor slots are full, and Kreider is not
accepting inquiries about spaces. “Our craft show fills up over the summer,” observed Kari Johnson, Believers member and marketing coordinator for the event. This year’s craft show will feature laser-engraved and scrollworked wooden items, dog treats, fall and Christmas décor, quillows and tote bags, copper flowers, ceramics, candles, jewelry, floral arrangements and potpourri, hand-painted and chalkboard signs, stationery, metal art and rag bags, flannel scarves, felted bowls, rubber-stamping items, Haitian tinware, and a variety of baked goods, including sandtarts. The Mechanic Grove Painting Group will sell artwork. See Craft Show pg 4
Forty vendors are expected to sell a wide variety of handcrafted items at the annual craft show that will be held at Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren on Oct. 27. Displaying a sample of items that might be offered at the event are (from left) Derrick Kreider holding Samantha Kreider, Kari Johnson, Acacia Kreider, and Melissa Kreider.
