WATERVILLE – The annual REM Craft Fair will be held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 28 and 29, at Champion’s Fitness Club, 30 Elm Plaza.
Saturday hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The juried craft fair will feature the high-quality work of more than 65 Maine artisans who create hand-made treasures. Many of the crafters will donate a craft item to be included in a raffle — a great opportunity to acquire a unique prize for a minimal donation.
One of REM’s goals is to create an exciting venue displaying the diversity and creative talent of Maine’s crafting community. Holiday shopping starts early in Maine, as many have friends, family and troops far away requiring early mailing.
The priority of our community is to develop a vibrant economy. Supporting our own Maine artists is a great way to shop locally and develop our local economy. These artists are all small businesses — some supporting more than one family.
A continental breakfast will be available both days at 10 a.m., followed by lunch at 11 a.m. Shoppers can take a break with their family and friends and enjoy a great meal featuring more than 20 homemade soups served with homemade breads, hot dogs, pulled chicken sandwiches and desserts. Shoppers may purchase menu items to take home; food will be available for purchase in bulk and packed to order.
REM is a non-profit organization of volunteers working to build community. Again this year, guests will be greeted by one of REM’s favorite community initiatives — REM Partners. It is a collaborative of more than 70 local nonprofits working to improve the quality of life in our community. REM Partners will greet you at the door. We urge you to thank them for their contribution to creating a community where people thrive. As you leave they will give you a “REM Partner Community Directory” describing their work.
