The Brookfield Historical Society’s Annual Crafts Festival will take place on Nov. 7, 2015 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Whisconier Middle School, Brookfield. The Festival of Crafts holiday craft show is sponsored by the Brookfield Historical Society.

The event will include more than sixty juried vendors.

In these trying economic times the mostly hand made crafts will provide the buyers with a unique opportunity to purchase, truly, one of a kind gifts, at reasonable prices.”

Among the many item for sale this year are jewelry, decorative pieces, folk art, personal grooming articles, soaps, soft sculptures, clothing, baskets, handbags, candles, assorted holiday treasures, edible delicacies, wood crafts, pet items and a host of diverse choices that can be bought as gifts or for home use.

There will also be face painting for the children and a food court available for visitors to purchase soup, sandwiches, snacks and drinks so they can shop and feed the kids at the same time.
