Fall brought the perfect backdrop for a day filled with color, community, creativity, and connection at our annual Hello Fall Vendor & Craft Event. From crisp autumn air and seasonal favorites to an incredible lineup of vendors and crafters, our second year was a wonderful celebration of togetherness, support, and smiles.
Although the weather brought a little drizzle, it certainly did not dampen the spirit of the day. Our amazing supporters still came out to celebrate our mission and help make the event a success. We were so grateful to have such a fantastic group of vendors join us, and Marilyn Bush kept the energy going all day as our DJ. We were also thrilled to welcome a very special guest who made the day extra memorable for the kids as they explored and enjoyed the event.
One of this year’s exciting new highlights was our Kids Corner, a special tent where children could relax, create, and have fun while parents enjoyed shopping the vendor booths. Kids were able to make crafts, color, and even paint their very own mini pumpkins! We also welcomed a mobile axe-throwing vendor, which was a big hit and is already excited to return next year.
We were also thrilled to offer so many wonderful raffle baskets and prizes. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to everyone who generously donated and helped make the raffle such a fun and successful part of the day!
Funds raised through the Hello Fall event will help provide the remaining items needed to complete our cancer care bags. This year, our goal is to fill 300 bags with comforting and practical items, which will be distributed in early December to cancer treatment locations in Cooperstown, NY, and Oneonta, NY.
