Mark your calendars because this year’s craft show is scheduled for Saturday, December 2, 2023!
We’ve already registered some wonderful vendors so please let us know if you’re interested in a table. It’s an indoor event so although we had a soggy morning last year, it didn’t dampen the festivities.
Thanks to all of the companies who have already generously donated items for our raffle baskets:
Please be sure to shop and support these companies as they support our cause.
We’d also like to give thanks to the following individuals and families for their generous contributions to the craft fair:

The weather outside was frightful and soggy, but that didn’t put a damper on our annual event. Vendor attendance was high, and we had a wonderful assortment of baskets from generous companies, thoughtful vendors, and our awesome residents who donated baskets and items to us.
We even had some great feedback from vendors who praised the marching band and student volunteers who helped unload and load crafters’ vehicles in the pouring rain. We already knew we had a great bunch of students and kiddos, but it’s always nice to hear compliments from others.
Vendors take note for next year: our event is fully indoors where you’re protected from wind, rain, and cold weather and we provide student volunteers to help you unload your vehicles.
We had quite a few basket winners who won multiple prizes, but the real winner was, the one and only, Mr. Moore, who not only took home the alumni baking basket and mega bicycle prize, but who gets to teach and play music with our great kids!
Below are some of the highlights from the craft fair:
Thank you to all of the crafters and shoppers who braved the weather to attend our event. It’s such a fun kick-off to the holiday season for us and a great way to support our marching band!
We couldn’t make it happen each year without our student volunteers, band boosters, school administration, and our all-volunteer Palmyra Fire Department who donates tables.
Thank you, everyone, and we can’t wait until next year. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season, a very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!!
What a great turnout we had for our Uno fundraiser! It was encouraging to see so many faces and we appreciate everyone who was able to place take-out orders and attend.
Below are some of the highlights from our event:
