Annual Friends Craft Fair

More than 300 traditional and contemporary crafters will be selling their wares at Ketring Park. This event is free and open to the public

The 40th Annual Friends of the Library and Museum Craft Fair is scheduled for Saturday, October 1, 2011 in Ketring Park, next to the Littleton Historical Museum, 6028 South Gallup Street and will take place regardless of weather.

The scenic grounds of Ketring Park will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; early shopping is discouraged so the crafters will have adequate time to set up their wares. There is no public admission charge; money from booth fees will be used by the Friends to sponsor programs at Littleton Museum and Bemis Public Library. Park rules include no dogs unless on leash, no smoking, and strollers are discouraged because of the large crowds.

Those attending the fair this year will be able to browse among 300 booths and eight food concession stands. The concessionaires will be serving breakfast and lunch items.

Next to Ketring Park, the Littleton Historical Museum will be open with exhibits on display in four galleries, and living history activities at the Littleton Historical Museum will be underway on the 1860's and 1890's farms. Visit the farms and discover life in the 19th century when hand made items were more common.

Because fair attendance is usually very high, motorists are asked to please observe parking signs and directives. Please do not park in the Bemis Library lot, as they need the space to carry out their daily activities.
