According to Ron Johnson, President of Finger Lakes Craftsmen, "If
you've seen our other shows, then you'll want to see this one. If you've
missed those shows, then you'll want to see what you've missed." With so
many exhibitors, this is one of the 'Largest Indoor Show Of Its Type In The
Northeast.' Over 60% of the exhibits are totally new, with many of the
exhibitors having never participated in the Rochester area before. And,
with wider aisles and bigger booths, we're even better. The Finger Lakes
Craftsmen add, that with so many exhibits, plan to spend a few hours in
order to really see everything on display. Also, you'll do the very best
Christmas shopping and make the best selections when you buy direct, from
the maker.
The purpose of the show is to give quality local, and far away,
artists and craftsmen an opportunity to exhibit their works in fine
surroundings, and to better acquaint the public with their work. This show,
now proudly celebrating its 30th year, has become an annual event in the
Rochester area.
Show President Johnson states that their past shows have drawn
large attendance's, but need not worry, as the expanded free parking area
can more than accommodate everyone. However, the best times to attend are
either mid or late afternoon to avoid some of the past congestion. In
addition, some of the exhibitors were sold out before the last show was
over.
So, don't forget the 30th Annual Thanksgiving Weekend - Christmas
Arts & Crafts Show & Sale, sponsored by the Finger Lakes Craftsmen, in the
big, beautiful Monroe County Fairgrounds Dome Arena, Calkins and East
Henrietta Roads, Rochester, New York. That's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
November 26th, 27th, and 28th, 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. all THREE days. And best
of all, only $2.50 admission, under 12 free, and acres of free parking.
Out-of-towners, take thruway Exit 46, and follow the signs.

County Fair Association or by a promotor, attendee's have to think twice as
to whether they will attend an event or not.

seeing any. At the same time, I'm still waiting for my cut of all those $20
dollar bills I'm sure he received. Probably got so much money that's why he
hasn't been around. Probably went to Bermuda to set up an off shore bank
account.
I know you liked the hot air ballons and of course the tasty popcorn from
Lyons, NY.
I liked the coin books and all the candles.

Craft shows can be so cool!
