This. year, the Simcoe County Arts and Crafts Association ,(SCACA) is producing its first Fair' - to be held on Thanksgiving weekend at the Simcoe . County Museum, Midhurst. The Gift Fair idea stemmed from the im= mense success of last vear's Quilt and Rug Fair, which was attended by an estimated 7,000 visitors. Many of these visitors commented on the diversity of crafts presented, saying they could hardly see some of the smaller items because of crowding This year those smaller items, and some of the larger, will be presented on their own. The Gift Fair will include arts and crafts priced from 25¢ to $50.00. The categories include art. candles. ceramics, hooking and needlecraft, jewellery and metalwork, leathercraft. pottery. rope arts, spinning and weaving, toys and dolls, and a Boutique section for all those delightful crafts that don't fit into other categories... There. will also be a_ selection of crafts books for-sale The work offered for sale will be hand-made by members of SCACA. The workers and demon- strators at the Fair will be, as usual, volunteer members of SCACA. It is projects hike the Gift Fair that illustrate the vitality that has kept SCACA going for close to thirty years, A primary 'goal of SCACA, has been to promote arts and crafts in Simcoe County: to preserve the .pioneer crafts that were so im- portant to life in days gone by: and. to: en- courage the development of new forms of arts and crafts.
