Times are a changing…. and so are we! What would have been the 15th Annual Craft Crawl is now proudly, the 1st Annual Craft Market. With the opening of the new Prospect Road Community Centre the crawl will become an annual market and interest has been renewed!

The Craft Market will be held this year on Saturday, October 16th, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be over 100 tables available for rent and will be allotted on a first come first served basis. The members of the craft market are working diligently to create a fresh and exciting market for our local crafters and artisans as well as other talented people from HRM and surrounding areas.

Our next meeting, which will be held on August 9, at 7p.m. at the Prospect Road Community Centre, is the cut-off date for any new members wishing to join the group this year. Membership will require your attendance at the meetings, decision making on the structure of the market, and providing you with a vote on the design. A fee of $10.00 to become a member will be applied towards your first table or space. Also anyone joining the group will be asked to help set up the evening before the event as well as cleanup after.

Presently standards are being set for the market and will be presented at our next meeting. Once completed the name and phone numbers of the people to contact for table rentals will be made available.

As in the past, the Ladies Auxiliary of St. Timothy’s Church, will have an area set up so that you can enjoy a leisurely lunch, only this year it will be conveniently located on site at the Community Centre.

Shoppers will find an array of hand-crafted gifts for anyone on their list! Support for your local community is greatly appreciated.
