To the Editor:
Saturday, Oct. 5th, was a gorgeous autumn day for our Fall Craft Fair and Family Fun Event. Between vendor fees, the raffle featuring items donated by the vendors, and general donations, we raised $438, which directly benefits all our student members.
Thank you to the thirteen participating vendors; we are grateful for their support and patience. They committed earlier this summer and then had to endure a rescheduling due to the storm in August.
Thanks to Norwood Village for hosting. The village park was a perfect venue for our event, and thanks to the firemen who brought tables down the stairs from the municipal building.
The Deep Root Center families who helped cart, carry, set up, run our welcome tent, and clean up are appreciated beyond measure. They are amazing and deeply appreciated.
Thanks to the multi-talented Janine, our DRC Pop-up Mentor, for facilitating all the arts and crafts adventures.
Shouts of gratitude to our fabulous musicians, Galaxy Hitchhiker (AKA Mike Corse) and DRC's own Christopher Raymo, who provided a lively backdrop of sound all day long.
Thank you to Nature's Storehouse, The Potsdam Co-op, the Massena Public Library, and the Canton Free Library for letting us borrow your canopy tents. Fortunately, we didn't need them to stay dry - but we were grateful to have some shade from the bright sun.
And finally, a huge thank you to all of the community members who came to support DRC and enjoy the beautiful day with us. We thoroughly appreciated meeting you and watching your children play and create art. The winners of the raffle items will be contacted.
We look forward to planning our next craft fair and family fun event and the opportunity to connect. Stay tuned.
Maria Corse,
Executive Director and Founder
