OAK LAWN, IL — More than 80 crafters and vendors have signed on for Richards High School’s fall craft fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26. Sponsored by the Richards Student Council, the fair will be held in the school’s main gym at 106th Street and Central Avenue.

The craft fair showcases Bulldog Brewing, managed by faculty members Kelly Fleming and Marie Bernier staffed by Richards’ special education students. Bulldog Brewing sells coffee, hot chocolate, tea and apple cider to staff members and students.

This year, Bulldog Brewing has expanded its operation to make thermal mugs with logos of colleges and universities. Sales from Bulldog Brewing support the high school’s special education department.
