Friends Craft Fair returns for 37th year

The 37th Annual Friends Craft Fair is scheduled for Saturday, October 4 in Ketring Park, next to the Littleton Historical Museum, 6028 South Gallup Street. It is sponsored by the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum 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 have adequate time to set up their wares. There is no admission charge; money from booth fees is used by the Friends to sponsor programs at the 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 will be able to browse among 300 booths and eight food concession stands.

Next to Ketring Park, the Littleton Historical Museum will be open with exhibits in four galleries, and living history activities 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 observe parking signs and directives. Do not park in the Bemis Library lot as they need the space to carry out their daily activities.
