SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center to Hold Third Annual Craft and Vendor Fair

POTSDAM, NY (11/23/2015)(readMedia)-- Jumpstart your holiday shopping and support local businesses this weekend, at the SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center's third annual Craft and Vendor Fair. The fair will take place this Saturday, Nov. 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Norwood Municipal Building.

Held in conjunction with Small Business Saturday, the event will host several SUNY Potsdam faculty and staff members, along with other local vendors, selling their wares.

The Craft and Vendor Fair will offer something for everyone as the event grows bigger and better each year. Handcrafted jewelry, soaps and lotions, photographs, home décor, gift baskets and baked goods will be for sale. Numerous vendors will be on hand as well, including Tastefully Simple, Arbonne, It Works!, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, 31, Origami Owl and more. Crafts made by children from the Center will also be available for purchase.

"It's so important to support local businesses and put money back into the surrounding community," said returning Pampered Chef vendor Sarah Maneely. "I'm really looking forward to the fair, every year the event draws a larger crowd!"

The craft and vendor fair is organized and operated by the SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center's board of directors. A $1 donation will be taken at the door to benefit the Center.

The SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center was incorporated in 1990, and operates in Merritt Hall as a daycare center to serve the College's faculty, staff and students. Although the center resides on campus, the SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center is a separate not-for-profit organization operating on campus grounds, and serves members of the community, in addition to those affiliated with the College.

Funding for the center is made possible through grants from SUNY, Family Benefits and weekly childcare fees. For more information about the SUNY Potsdam Child Care Center, visit www.potsdam.edu/faculty/spccc.
