The Masonic Craft Fair continues to grow each year. Both in the number of vendors and the number of shoppers. Last year we estimate we had over 50 vendors and between 1000 and 1200 shoppers throughout the day.
We have also taken the feedback we’ve received over the last couple of years to make some changes. Please read on to see changes.
