You never know what you might find while wandering through Smoke on the Susquehanna. "We have 110 vendors, crafters and artists and seven food trucks," said April Geesey, the owner of Spitfire Events and organizer of Smoke on the Susquehanna. "People can expect a variety of local crafters making all kinds of handmade items and great food."

Smoke on the Susquehanna will be held on Sunday, April 21, at John Wright Restaurant, 234 N. Front St., Wrightsville, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This is the third year Geesey has hosted this event, which began as a way to promote her own small business, Burning Hell Hot Sauce, which she launched in 2021.

"I realized how important these events are to small businesses," she said. "I absolutely love being able to do these events and help small businesses get their name and products out to the community. John Wright has been amazing at letting me use their venue for this for the last three years."

She emphasized that vendors will offer a wide range of items, from artwork to jewelry, home goods and pet products. Participants include Morrow's Woodworking, Scents by Meg, Muddy Creek Pottery and Brianna Folds Books. Food trucks will include Mac Stack, Midnite Smokin' BBQ and Ice House Creamery.

Along with food and vendors, Smoke on the Susquehanna will feature kids' activities, including face painting and balloon animals.

Geesey donates a portion of the vendor fees to a local charity after each event. This year's beneficiary will be Autism York. "I try to support our community as much as I can," she said. "It's all about supporting each other."

The event will be held rain or shine. For more information, search for "Smoke on the Susquehanna" on Facebook.
