OSWEGO, NY – The Oswego Lions Club will host the second annual River’s Edge “handmade” Craft Show on June 9.
The event will take place on West Liner Park, right on the river’s edge, in Oswego. Hours for the show will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The first River’s Edge Craft show was a huge success!
The music from the bands was wonderful, the kids enjoyed playing on the inflatable slide, and buyers were thrilled with the quality and workmanship of all the crafts.
The “Best of Show“ award went to Charlotte Besaw of Hand Candy Mittens.
She received free booth rental for this year’s show.
All of the vendors commented on how well organized and how well run the show was, and many said they would be back for the 2013 show.
Well, this year, planning of the second show, sponsored by The Oswego Lions Club, is well under way.
We have moved to an even bigger venue this year right on the Oswego River, West Linear Park.
We are expecting many of the same vendors as last year and we also have many new crafters added to the mix.
Johnny Luber and his band the Lubricators will be playing all afternoon, and there will be food, and fun for the entire family.
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 coming from as far away as Watertown and Syracuse.
This year our wine vendors will be from Americana and Lakeland Wineries, and Blowing Smoke Bar-B-Q, Robert and Amanda Reczko will return as our food vendors with the addition of Barlow’s concessions.
As with all of The Oswego Lions Club events, we are expecting big crowds again this year. We hope you will stop by and help with this worthwhile effort to raise money to help with all the community services we do.
