The annual Spruce Hill May Fair will return to Clark Park on May 9 and will bring dozens of local vendors, live music, food, raffles with great prizes from local businesses, book and plant sales, and games and entertainment for kids.
Vendors will be offering a wide range of arts and crafts, including many gift ideas for Mother’s Day, which is on May 10. There will also be booths set up with information about local groups and causes seeking public support.
The Spruce Hill Community Association, which organizes the event, still has a few vending spots open for interested individuals or organizations. Especially welcome are artists and crafters from West Philadelphia who would like to offer their works for sale, as well as any group or organization wanting to promote itself or a cause, event, or activity.
Application deadline is Friday, May 1. Tables are $30 to $40 (the tables and chairs will be provided). You can download the sign-up sheet here: Vendor Form.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Mark Wagenveld at ma.wa@verizon.net or 215-756-2070.

Hi Mark,
It is Meta, your old face painter. Please let me know if I can run a table on my own. If you are continuing with the volunteer painters, I understand.
I had such good memories, that I could not help but ask. No pressure either way, but please let me know. I hope you are well!
