'Tis the season for craft fairs in Vermont, and probably your state too. In November and early December about every church, senior center, school, hall and exhibition center is likely opening its doors on a Saturday for a craft fair where local and regional artisans and Vermont product makers will sell their wares to holiday shoppers.

 

Some businesses and even hospitals also get in on the act, because it is, well, craft fair season.

 

To list them all would be impossible, or super long at the least, so we've included some here with which we're familiar or found on the web. Rest assured, however, if you're visiting on a different weekend in November or December you will undoubtedly find plenty of fairs to visit.
