Newtown United Methodist Church (NUMC) will hold its annual Fall Craft Fair on Saturday, October 17 at Reed Intermediate School, 3 Trades Lane in Newtown. The event will run from 10 am to 4 pm, and admission is free.

This year’s event will showcase more than 35 local crafters offering a wide variety of handmade goods. Attendees can browse home and holiday décor, hand-dipped candles, fine jewelry, custom woodcrafts and pottery, bespoke textile and paper arts, original photography, and more from local artists.

The fair will once again feature NUMC’s popular baked goods and cookie table, along with a silent auction. Attendees can bid on goods and gift cards donated by favorite local establishments.

Guests can also purchase lunch from the fair’s food truck (TBA). The Fall Craft Fair is the church’s largest annual community outreach event. Proceeds support the church’s mission, operations, and service programs.

The event also helps support Families United in Newtown (FUN), a local support group for individuals with autism and their families.
