We would like to invite you to the Arkell Museum & Canajoharie Library’s 2018 Holiday Art & Craft Fair. This year, our fair will take place on Saturday, November 17 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. We are excited to bring this wonderful event back for another year and look forward to showcasing the talent of our local artisans. We will also be sponsoring a basket raffle to support “Haven of Hope Farm & Residence”, which provides transitional housing and job training in a healthy and nurturing environment for women in need and their children.

This year our Holiday Art & Craft Fair will feature artisan craft vendors, the Library’s used book sale, the Palatine Literary Society luncheon to benefit their award to a graduating senior, a bake sale by our local Girl Scouts, free family activities, and a children’s toy and winter clothing drive to benefit the Salvation Army Toys for Tots program.

Admission to the Holiday Art & Craft Fair will be free, and admission to the Arkell Museum will be discounted to $5.00. For more information, contact Curator of Education & Public Engagement, Jenna Peterson Riley or call 518-673-2314.
