Etsy Artisan Spring Market

Etsy spring market vendors from past yearsSaturday, May 4th, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. in the Community Room

Spring is finally here and with that comes a season of celebrations… Mother’s Day, graduations, birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and Father’s Day, to name a few. Forget the big box stores and celebrate your loved ones with a special handmade gift, made locally by crafters from Wallingford and surrounding towns. There’s something for everyone, in a range of prices.

Market vendors are graduates of the Wallingford Public Library’s Etsy Craft Entrepreneurship Workshops. Please attend the Spring Market, shop small, and become a part of their entrepreneurial journey.

Pick up your Passport at the Wallingford Public Library and we’ll give you your first stamp. Then, take your Passport along as you visit other
participating libraries throughout the state and collect as many stamps as you can! CLA will be giving away a total of four $200 gift cards as prizes in two categories:

Category One: Each participant who visits at least five libraries will be entered into a statewide drawing. Prizes will be awarded, one each to a randomly-selected adult (18+) and child who visited at least five libraries.

Category Two: Each library will select the adult and the child who visited the most libraries. There will be a final “all libraries” selection (not a drawing) among the contestants who have visited the most libraries. Two prizes will be awarded, one each to an adult and child who visited the most libraries. In case of a tie, the winner will be selected via a random drawing.
