Austin Prep Craft & Gift Festival
The arrival of fall means pumpkins, colorful leaves and the annual Friends of Austin Craft & Gift Festival at Austin Preparatory School.
More than 70 vendors will be selling a variety of wares – including jewelry, cards, home décor items, holiday decorations, handbags, gift baskets, and many other goods. The fair also features bake & flower sales and raffle prizes.
This year’s festival is Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is in the school gym and the address is 101 Willow St., Reading.
The event is organized by the Friends of Austin, a volunteer parent group, and serves as a fundraiser for the school. All proceeds benefit Austin Prep.
Admission is $3 (children under age 12 are free) and parking is free.
There are still vendor spaces left. Cost is $70 for a single space, or $140 for a double space. Vendors may apply online at our website: https://www.austinprepschool.org/contentpage.aspx?
