Community Kiwanis Art & Craft Market Enjoys Another Successful Year

By Suzy Weinland

This year’s Kiwanis Art & Craft Market took place on Sunday, September 8 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. It was a beautiful fall day for perusing the one-of-a-kind goods from more than 90 artisans and vendors from across the tri-state.

This year’s participants sold everything imaginable! Custom-made jewelry; estate jewelry; original watercolor and oil paintings; hand-thrown and glazed pottery for the home and garden; hand-carved woodworking; seasonal décor and goodies; local honey, salsa, dipping spices, sauces and more; French linen table runners, placemats and napkins; handpoured soaps; repurposed wool items turned into mittens, hats and scarves; and upcycled quilts made into sweatshirts, jackets and pouches.

And of course, the Village Church of Mariemont was once again on hand to feed hungry shoppers with delicious grilled selections, chips and soda.

The annual Kiwanis Art & Craft Market is held every second Sunday in September and is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Kiwanis Club of Mariemont.
