Batavia Mothers' Club to host 34th annual Autumn Craft & Vendor Show

The Batavia Mothers' Club Foundation's 34th annual Autumn Craft & Vendor Show will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Batavia High School, 1201 Main St.

The show spotlights a juried selection of arts and crafts designed and created by the artist and also is an opportunity for commercial vendors to display their products. The show will include the popular bake sale, featuring cakes, pies, award-winning brownies, and a variety of other treats, a charity raffle and multiple lunch services including Bernie's Bully Dogs.

This is a well-attended event with a $5 admission fee with $1 off admission fee if bringing a new toy to donate to the ACCESS Toy Drive. Kids 12 and younger are admitted free. Strollers are allowed at the event.

In conjunction with its Autumn Craft & Vendor Show, the club is holding a 50/50 Draw-Down Raffle. The drawing will be held Oct. 19 at the craft show. You do not need to be present to win. Only 200 tickets are being sold. Tickets are $20 each. Every 10th ticket pulled wins a mystery prize. The last ticket drawn wins half the money raised in the 50/50 raffle. The club expects to sell out before the show, so don't delay if you are interested. Contact Batavia Mothers' Club Foundation via email at raffle@bataviamothersclub.org.
