Not Your Grandma's Craft Fair

I just signed up for this today. It's a new event and it's close to home for me so I thought hey, why not!

"Not Your Grandma’s Craft Fair" spawned from the need to fill a gap in our local artsy craft market. After attending many local crafts fairs, we realized we just didn’t quite fit. We wanted somewhere to not only sell our wares but also a place to see artists like us, a little estranged from the potholder/doily crowd. Not Your Grandma’s Craft Fair intends to be a showcase of the areas best artists and crafters, attracting crowds who might not make it to the average church basement bazaar.

Location 550 Lowell Street, Manchester, NH 03104
Time November 12th 2011, 9:00am - 3:00 pm
