Littleton's 'Beloved' Annual Friends Craft Fair Canceled
The annual craft fair has been a popular Littleton tradition since 1971.
LITTLETON, CO — For the first time in nearly five decades, Littleton's annual Friends Craft Fair has been canceled. The fair was scheduled for Oct. 3 in Ketring Park.
The fair's board worked with the Tri-County Health Department in an attempt to hold the event under public health guidelines; however organizers realized that attendance would be "severely" restricted, the board said.
"Requirements included limiting attendance to 175 people at a time, maintaining social distance standards, creating a fenced perimeter, enforcing one way traffic, increased sanitation, providing only contactless payment, and more," a city of Littleton newsletter read.
