44th Annual Craft Days September 6 & 7, 2008
It is that time of year again for the Madison County Historical Society’s
44th Annual Craft Days! The event held on Saturday, September 6th and
Sunday, September 7th, is organized and hosted by the Madison County
Historical Society at the society’s 435 Main Street location in Oneida. This
year’s Craft Days will feature over 100 juried craft vendors, food, and
entertainment. Visitors can also tour the society’s headquarters, Cottage
Lawn, an 1849 Gothic Revival Cottage, during the event. The Olde Tyme
Fiddlers will be returning to entertain the crowd on Saturday from 1-3 pm.
On Sunday, we are excited to have Chris Farrar and Mike Doyle performing
from 1-3 pm. As always visitors are sure to find a special hand crafted
item, a delectable treat, and great music all in one location at the 44th
Annual Craft Days at the Madison County Historical Society. Don’t forget to
check out the daily demonstrations from our craft vendors. All weekend
check-out Lisa Gardiner demonstrating chair caning. On Sunday come see a
blacksmith at work. Tom Parlato will return with his forge and anvil to
entertain visitors. It’s not too late to buy your raffle tickets for the
much-anticipated Madison County Sterling Silver Bicentennial Plaque drawing
on Sunday, Sept. 7th at 2 pm.
In addition, free park and ride service will be provided. Shuttle buses will
be running throughout the weekend from the Dream Catcher Plaza on Route 5 to
Cottage Lawn. Admission to the event is $3 for adults. Children 12 and
