On July 5th the Otis Library held the annual Library Craft Fair. It was a beautiful day and with 33 vendors signed up! In addition to tons of books, Otis hats and tees, beautiful ceramics, stained glass, bright baby quilts, colorful wreaths, honey and beeswax products, woodcrafts, and too many more creative crafts to list, fair goers could snack on hotdogs, cookies, sausages with peppers & onions.

The Library, Trustees, and Friends of the Library are extremely grateful to the many volunteers (including the world's best grandkids, and a handful of scouts!) who helped make this the best fair we could imagine. And congratulations to all the raffle winners!
