Please stop by the Lewiston Public Library tomorrow, November 24th, for Crafts in the Stacks. The show runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Callahan Hall, and features 25 different artisans selling their creations. It's a great opportunity to do some holiday shopping while supporting local craftspeople on Small Business Saturday! While you are with us, grab some refreshments and sit & chat a while; Forage Market will be with us all day, serving up sandwiches, cookies and drinks.
Wondering where to park for this event? Please follow this link to the Lewiston Public Library's website for some helpful information on that front. (Parking is a challenge in downtown Lewiston, but it is not impossible!)
We hope to see you there!
Supporting Lewiston-Auburn's independent artisans and craftspeople and encouraging a vibrant D.I.Y. culture through events, education, and networking.

Introducing "Neighborhood Handmade"!
We are a newly-formed collaborative, based in Lewiston-Auburn, Maine. Our goal is to support our community's independent artisans and craftspeople by
organizing and promoting events in which they can market their work to
the public, as well as offering networking and educational opportunities when possible. We want to foster an enjoyable, thriving D.I.Y. scene, and an overall culture of appreciation for
locally produced, high quality handmade goods.
We are very excited to be planning our very first event, "Crafts in the Stacks," to be held on Saturday, November 24th, 2012 in Callahan Hall at the Lewiston Public Library. Stay tuned for more information!
