The Neponset Valley Humane Society announced that vendor/crafter applications are available for its Fall Craft Fair scheduled for Saturday, October 5 in Norwood, Mass. This special event, the first since the pandemic, will benefit pets throughout the Neponset Valley.

The Society is seeking crafters, artisans, makers, and food purveyors who want to show off their wares to a pre-holiday shopping crowd.

“We’d love to include handmade goods, pottery, jewelry, candles, art, photography, re-purposed crafts and more,” said Cathy Tainter, the Society’s President. “The new and unusual always draws a crowd, and it’s never too early to plant thoughts of holiday giving.”

The fair will take place at Prescott Elementary School. The cost is $50 (non-refundable) -- plus an item donated to the raffle -- for a 10' x 10' space inside the gymnasium. Vendors must supply their own tables and chairs.

Proceeds from the fair will help cats with medical visits and vaccinations, support rescue and feral feeding teams, subsidize the Society’s seniors-to-seniors program, and assist fosters.
