The AWARE Fall Foliage Craft Fair in Hardwick was held on October 7 and included 58 vendors.

A vendor table was unattended at this year’s AWARE Fall Foliage Craft Fair in memory of Bette O’Connor who passed away on June 28 from cancer. She and her sister Sara Joyal rented this space for over 20 years at the Craft Fair in Hardwick selling their holiday table favors, greeting cards and calendars. The space Saturday was empty except for O’Connor’s picture, a note, a candle and an empty chair.
