Craft fair, yard sale to benefit Village Library

The Village Library, 207 N. Walnut St., Morgantown, will present a craft fair and yard sale event on Saturday, May 3, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vendors will be located both inside and outside the library building, and food will be available to purchase.

The first-time event is being organized by library patron Mary Frazier, who will also sell homemade crafts at the event. She noted that while the indoor craft market has been filled, crafters and yard sale vendors may set up outside. "The vendors will be set up along the parking lot in the grass," she noted.

Setup for the yard sale will be held on Friday, May 2, from 5 to 8 p.m. and on May 3 starting at 7 a.m. There will be a fee per space, and vendors will need to provide their own tables. "(All proceeds) will go to the library for their programs and operating expenses," Frazier said.

The kitchen will be open, offering breakfast and lunch, including walking tacos, hot dogs, hamburgers and barbecue sandwiches, as well as snacks, candy and beverages. "The kitchen will (offer) breakfast sandwiches, fresh fruit and doughnuts and lunch items," Frazier said, noting that volunteers will prepare the food on-site. "We have gotten donations from Shady Maple, Weis Markets and BB's (Grocery Outlet) to use in the kitchen that day."

Among the crafts offered for sale will be jewelry, crocheted and knitted items and grapevine wreaths. Also on hand will be a face painter and a local baker as well as a representative from Joshua's Garden, which offers organic skin care and cleansers, serum and body lotions. Handmade bracelets will be offered by Samantha's Beads, which is run by a 13-year-old Chester County resident who turned her hobby into a business.

"I will also have some crafts made by special needs students from John Paul II (Center for Special Learning)," Frazier added.

In the event of inclement weather, vendors will be given the choice to donate their fee to the library or receive a refund.
