Brookfield Museum & Historical Society's annual

Festival of Crafts

Museum Director Susan Murphy and Craft Show Manager Stacey Olszewski

     Susan Murphy, event director and Stacey Olszewski, show manager, are working to put the final touches on this year’s  18th Annual Festival of Crafts sponsored by the Brookfield Museum and Historical Society. The wares of more than fifty juried vendors will be on sale during the much-anticipated event.  The Festival will be held at the Whisconier Middle School gymnasiums located on West Whisconier Road off of Route 25 in Brookfield. The scheduled time and date is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2009.

      According to Olszewski “… the upcoming crafts festival will feature a number of new exhibitors, many from the surrounding area. In these trying economic times the mostly hand made crafts will provide the buyers with a unique opportunity to purchase, truly, one of a kind gifts, at reasonable prices.” Due to past successes, the Festival of Crafts has grown to be the largest and most successful pre-holiday sales event of its kind throughout the northeast region of the state. The   products on sale cover a wide range of selections. Among the many items are jewelry, decorative pieces, pottery, folk art, photographic and print selections, furniture, floral displays, soaps, clothing, assorted holiday treasures, edible delicacies, wood crafts, toys and a host of diverse choices that can be bought as gifts or for home use. Even a book signing by the Reverend Doctor Steve Burt, the so-called “Sinister Minister”, who is the world’s top horror and suspense writer for young adults, will be featured. Admission for adults is  $5 or $4 with a coupon that will appear in Danbury regional  papers and on the Brookfield Museum and Historical Society Website.  Children 12 and under enter free. Food and refreshments will be available for attendees.
