Once again, thanks to all of our exhibitors, all of the volunteers who run the event and the Shelton community, the 52nd Annual Arts & Crafts Fair to benefit the Shelton Jaycees was an incredible success!
Always the First Sunday AFTER the First Friday & Saturday in June, and always on the Huntington Green. Our 2017 event will be on June 4th with a rain date on June 11th. Click on the Arts & Crafts Fair tab on the Shelton Jaycees home page for all the details.
The quality & diversity of our 2016 exhibitors was second to none. The fair is a juried event with cash prizes for Best in Arts & Best in Crafts. We limit exhibitors to a maximum of three in each category. In 2016, as in previous years, we had to reject several applications in order to create that perfect mix.
Special thanks go out to the Shelton High School Robotics Club and their supporters. They were extremely helpful again this year aiding exhibitors with set up and take down. A portion of the proceeds was donated to them for all their heavy lifting!
The 2016 Arts & Crafts Fair was chaired by past member Wendy Holden. Additional volunteers included Kate Jager, Val Sabetta, Nikole Lindley, Michael Sheehan, Mark Holden and Jim Nissen.
