Sandy Hook Is Readying

2nd Annual Festival

Merchants in and around Sandy Hook Center are coordinating their efforts to present the 2nd Annual Sandy Hook Arts and Crafts Festival. This year’s event will be presented on Saturday, May 3, from 10 am to 3 pm.

The festival will be presented in the businesses, parking lots, and along the sidewalks of Sandy Hook Center – the area at the intersection of Church Hill Road, Glen Road, Riverside Road and Berkshire Road. Plenty of parking areas will be set up, and all events will be within walking distance of each other.

Fine artists and crafters will be set up in the parking lot of The Little Green Barn, 4 Washington Avenue, as will a farmer’s market.

Also confirmed for this year is a hooked rug display at The Mill Antiques, at 111 Church Hill Road.

Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor, 102 Church Hill Road, will again host a wine tasting and artist label signing. McLaughlin Vineyards of Sandy Hook is about to release a new vintage of merlot that will feature labels designed by Sandy Hook artist Michael Morshuk. Mr Morshuk will be at the liquor store to sign copies of his prints or right on the labels of bottles being purchased.

Children’s events will include face painting, crafts, pony rides and a petting zoo.

Free maps presenting the layout of events and parking locations will be available.
