FESTIVALS & OUTDOOR EVENTS

Handmade can be hard to find, but you won’t have to look far at the 37th Annual Craft Fair sponsored by the Mission Team. Hours are Friday, October 28th from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm and Saturday, October 29th from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm.



Admission and parking are free.



Vendors will be there with handcrafted items such as ornaments, woodcrafts, crocheted gifts, pottery, and home decor. We continue to feature a yard sale with gently used treasures. Don’t miss the bake sale. Refreshments will be also available in the courtyard.



Funds raised by the Craft Fair support missions to meet basic needs of people in Broward County and across the globe. Locally, Mission Team members feed the hungry and homeless in Coral Springs and in downtown Fort Lauderdale, visit shut-ins and others in need, and support foster children.



The benefits are also felt a world away. Jim Cavnar , President of Cross International, says “Our collaboration with First Church United Methodist in Coral Springs is an excellent example of just how effective those partnerships (with local churches) can be. On two occasions, they helped us fill a tractor trailer full of supplies to help disaster victims – most recently in response to the Haiti earthquake. That outreach had a huge impact. I wish every church in South Florida had that kind of heart for overseas missions.”



We invite you to come, take a look at handmade goods created by local crafters, and help a worthy cause at the same time. For more information, please email craftfair11@yahoo.com or contact the Craft Fair Coordinator at 954-304-6136.
