Church plans craft fair

WINDHAM - On November 13 and 14 Unity Church of Greater Portland, 54 River Road in Windham, is celebrating the approaching holiday season by holding a very special Craft Fair. It will feature the works of both local artisans and those from around the world under the sponsorship of Fair Trade.

Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability. It strives to ensure that craftsmen and farmers are assured reasonable prices for the products they market, providing their families with a sustainable living wage. It is Spiritual Social Action at work Unity-style, providing others with a “hand up” rather than a “hand out”.

The Craft Fair will be open in the Unity sanctuary from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on November 13 and from 12 to 2 p.m. on November 14. It will offer a wide assortment of craft products and food items that will give you a head start on your holiday shopping and provide your gifts with a unique touch that only custom-made items can offer.
