Craft Sales to Benefit Local Children's Charities
At the Oswego Lion's Club 10th Annual River's Edge Craft Show
Breitbeck Park, 91 Lake Street, Oswego

Picture
Photo from 2021 Beaver Lake Sale - We will have 2 booths full of product in Oswego!
One of the missions of the Woodworkers of Central New York is to contribute to the community in which we live, practice our craft, and enjoy.  Children are the future for all of us and providing resources that can support children, especially those that are sick, is one small way members of the Woodworkers of Central New York can give back.
     In order to fulfill that goal, members donate completed projects - ornaments, vases, bottle stoppers, ice cream scoops, nativity scenes, etc. - that are then sold a just a few craft shows regionally.  The net profits are then distributed to a variety of local children's charities to help further their mission and offset costs. 
     The club will be selling at this show for the first time in 2022.  We hope you will join us.  Our next sale is not until September 10-11 during the Golden Harvest Festival at Beaver Lake Nature Center.
