HUNTINGTON â For those looking for handmade crafts by local artisans, Miller School Park will be the place to be this weekend.
The Southside Neighborhood Organization will host its first Community Craft Fair on Saturday, July 31. Vendors with a variety of handmade goods and crafts will be on-site from 8 a.m. to noon. The park is at 12th Avenue and 7th Street in Huntington.
Connie Reed Beaty, the president of the organization, said the idea came from the groupâs social director and hospitality committee chairwoman, Jessica McCormick. The organization aims to make the fair an annual event.
About 16 vendors or groups will be at the fair. Beaty said some of the vendors will have goods such as honey, paintings, jewelry and more. Mountain State Reptile will bring animals to the park as well. A representative of the National Park Service will also be present Saturday to gather feedback about future projects at Miller School Park.
