The Oswego Lions Club will host the second annual Rivers Edge "handmade" Craft Show from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, June 9, 2013. The event will take place on West Liner Park, right on the river's edge, in Oswego.
"We hope you will stop by and help with this worthwhile effort to raise money to help with all the community services we do," Steve Jurivich, Oswego Lions Club president said. "As with our past fundraising events, we are expecting capacity crowds and another successful event for our club. We will have entertainment by The Lubricators, and Oswego Karate will be doing demonstrations."
There will be more than 40 craft, food and wine vendors, including "hand poured candles, homemade dips and sauces, wood turned kitchen items, florals, cookies, wood creations, outdoor wood furniture and crafts, soaps and lotions, jewelry, canvas bags, homemade purses, tie dye shoes and clothing, handmade children's clothes, and many more wonderful "hand crafted items.
Many vendors are coming from as far away as Watertown and Syracuse.
There is still space available if anyone is interested in bringing your handmade craft to the event.
