HOMEMADE — Crafters filled two floors and the lobby for the annual Thanksgiving Craft Fair at the Gentle Memorial Building in Houlton. Pleasant weather added to the number of shoppers stopping by the fair on Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving.

BEST FRIENDS — Judy Perkins Bologna and her husband drove to Houlton from Warner, NH, to attend the annual Houlton Craft Fair and visit with her stepmother, Madeline Crawford Perkins. Perkins, as many Houlton citizens will remember worked at the Gentle Memorial Building for many years. She taught many classes there and managed many of the activities. Living away for several years, Perkins now in her 90’s has come back to Houlton and enjoys seeing many of her old friends. Bologna loves coming to Houlton for the annual craft fair and visiting with Perkins.

RECYCLING BECOMES ART — Artistic crafter Vicki Noble of Kingman had a variety of interesting holiday decorations including old chairs painted with scenes and skates and skis embellished what would have been a plain old shutter or piece of wood. Now they are a work of art.
