Annual NEML craft fair set for Nov. 9

MILLERTON — The NorthEast-Millerton Library is hosting its annual craft fair on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The craft fair is a staple for the library to raise money. Since 2012, NEML has raised over $22,000 through donations from local businesses and the community.

There will be no vendors during the fair; all of the items being sold are donated to support and help fund the library. The community can find one-of-a-kind items, participate in raffles and find new businesses to love.

The library is still looking for items to collect and sell at the craft fair, such as knitting, sewing, crochet, painting, jewelry, jelly, jams, baked goods, pickles, woodworking, glass work, artwork, photography, jewelry, dishware and figurines.

All proceeds will go to the NorthEast-Millerton Library. You can bring donations to the library; if you have any questions, call 518-789-3340.

Owner Terence S. Miller, who bought the shop 24 years ago at just 20 years old, calls the new feature “a modern twist on an old-school honor system,” with some high-tech updates.
