Parks-Bentley to hold craft and antique fair September 13

On Saturday September 13, the Moreau and South Glens Falls Historical Society will hold its second craft and antique fair at Parks-Bentley Place. 

 Titled “Treasures on the Lawn”, the outdoor event will include booths manned by area crafters and vendors with items for sale including jewelry, wood crafted décor, books, vintage housewares, and other handmade and vintage items. In addition, there will be antiques, quilted bags, handmade greeting cards and vintage glassware. Parks-Bentley Place will have its own booth with one-of-a-kind crafts and other items donated by local crafters and Historical Society members. The South Glens Falls Fire Department will provide food for sale throughout the day and there will be homemade baked goods available for purchase at the Parks-Bentley table. 

 Visitors to the craft fair will also have the opportunity to tour the current exhibition of Victorian clothing titled “What They Wore” on its closing day. A raffle will also be held for a handmade teddy bear in Victorian dress. 

 Treasures on the Lawn opens at 9:00 am and runs until 3:00 pm. The event will be held rain or shine, and entry is free to the public, although donations are appreciated. 

 Funds raised will go toward programs and building renovations at the historic Ferry Boulevard house that serves as the Society’s headquarters. Of the three oldest buildings in South Glens Falls, Parks-Bentley is the only one open to the public.
