The 33rd annual Crafts in the Park will be held on Saturday, May 10, at The Park, on the corner of Chestnut and Bartlet streets, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This year, approximately 100 craft and food vendors will be presenting their wares.
"In the past, we have featured up to 125 vendors, " says Kay Grace, co-chairwoman of this year's show, "We now have an indoor venue, the High School field house, on Sunday, May 11, in case of rain, and fewer spaces are available there, but we feel that most craftspeople prefer this arrangement to being rained out completely."
A wide variety of hand-crafted items: jewelry, pottery, hand woven baskets and more, will be available for Mother's Day gifts or for giving an uplift to homes, yards and wardrobes, say organizers.
Andover residents Sarah Rose, with hair accessories for girls, Catherine Berube, with note cards and watercolor paintings, Yolanda Mendez, with jewelry, will be in the show, along with craftspeople from all over New England.
Crafts in the Park is sponsored by the Andover Chapter of AFS, a non-profit student exchange program, and all profits fund scholarships for students and help for host families. Andover residents Fran and Pat O'Neil are serving as co-chairs to this year's show, along with Grace. For more information, call 978-475-6829 or 978-475-7074.
