Allaire to host crafters market

Allaire Village Inc. will host its annual fall crafters' market. This fund-raising event will take place on Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The crafters will be displaying their crafts within the Historic Village at Allaire in Allaire State Park, Route 524 (Atlantic Avenue) Wall Town-ship, just outside Howell.

Admission to the crafters' market is $2 per adult, with children under 12 admitted free. Exhibits by more than 125 area craftspeople and artisans will include demonstrations and feature everything from museum-quality pieces to country crafts, handicrafts and home-made bric-a-brac.

Food and beverage service will be available, and there is a treed picnic area. The rain date is Oct. 7.

This fund-raiser benefits the historic and educational programs presented at the Historic Village at Allaire by the nonprofit organization Allaire Village Inc.

Patrons to the crafters' market are encouraged to visit the restored 1830s iron manufacturing community now known as the Historic Village at Allaire.

Visitors will see authentically clad volunteer museum interpreters, artisans and craft demonstrators, including carpenters and blacksmiths, present the story of the historic buildings and of the people who lived and worked there 170 years ago.

The general store/museum gift shop and bakery will be open for shopping and refreshments.
