Province arts and crafts event draws large crowd

Saturday’s Province Arts and Crafts Fair featured something for anyone and everyone.

The event, held at the Province Town Hall from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., drew a large crowd of both lookers and shoppers. The large ballroom at the Province Center was packed with booths and tables featuring ceramics, glassware, jewelry, purses, paintings and objects to enhance any home on a daily basis or during the holiday season.

Province resident FloAnn Ghigliazza was one of the first residents in the door when the fair opened at 10 a.m. “There are so many beautiful things here today,” she said, adding, “I’m also really pleased to see an even greater variety of items than last year.”

In fact the number of participants grew so much this year that some booths spilled out into the outside patio area.

The fair, Province’s second annual arts and crafts event, gave local residents and vendors the opportunity to exhibit their wares, offered for sale or for special orders. Noted Ghigliazza, “It just keeps growing and getting better each year.”
