CRAFT AND VENDOR SALE
Join us for our Craft & Vendor Fair on Saturday, May 12 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The fair is held each year in Lakeview Park on the lawn in front of the Noble Center (rain or shine). Throughout the day, Haddad’s food truck will sell delicious lunch choices, and the Peoria Humane Society will return this year with adoptable pets from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. Entertainment will be provided by Singsations, NTA - Nitsch Theatre Arts, and many more! For those who are crafters or vendors and would like to rent a booth, applications are available here. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Central Illinois Breast Cancer Research. Also, our Craft & Vendor Fair committee is asking if they may place signs in our members’ yards to help advertise the event. If you live on a busy road and would be willing to let them put a sandwich board in your front yard, please contact us at players@mtco.com. Please also include your home address. The signs would be placed in your yard from the end of April to the day of the event, May 12. Our committee is also needing volunteers in 2-hour increments starting at 7:00 am on May 12 for set-up and ending at 3:00 pm for cleanup and tear-down. Setting up and cleaning up are large tasks, but they can be completed fairly quickly with several helping hands. To schedule your volunteer slot, please contact Karen Stringer at stringerks3425@comcast.net. For all other inquiries about our Craft & Vendor Fair, please contact the committee at pptcraftandvendorsale@outlook.com.
