One of Brookfield's longest-running holiday traditions is back this weekend. The 37th Annual Festival of Crafts takes over Whisconier Middle School, 17 West Whisconier Road, on Saturday, November 7, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The juried fair brings together more than 50 artisans selling handmade seasonal pieces, treats, and one-of-a-kind gifts — the kind of holiday shopping that starts in a school gymnasium rather than a mall. The Historical Society describes the festival as the largest pre-holiday sales event of its kind in the northwest region of the state, and the promoter's listing puts attendance at around 1,000 visitors.

Admission is $5, and the festival is a fundraiser for the Brookfield Museum and Historical Society, the organization that preserves the town's history at its museum on Whisconier Road. Money spent at the door goes toward that work.

Saturday is a full day around the schools: the household hazardous waste drop-off runs the same morning, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Brookfield High School. Residents can clear out the garage first, then head down Route 25 to the fair.
