Apple Pie Crafts Fair - Cancelled for 2020
After much deliberation, the Board and staff of the Library Arts Center has decided to cancel the 2020 Apple Pie Crafts Fair. We are so sad to have to forego this annual community tradition, but as it draws over 5,000 to the town common for one big fun summer day, we can’t see how we can do it with regards to social distancing and public safety. All fair vendors will be refunded in full by the end of June. As this is truly one of our very favorite events of our calendar year, we will start dreaming and planning now for the 2021 fair to make sure it is better than ever to make up for missing this year.

In addition to all of the festivities on the Town Common, fairgoers will also enjoy the Richards Library Festival that features an outstanding book sale, cookie walk, crafts for kids, a children’s tent, and lunch on the library porch.
APPLE PIE CONTEST
Do you have an award-winning apple pie recipe? Put it to the test at the favorite Apple Pie Contest! The only rules stipulate that the main ingredient of pies must be apples, and that only the first twelve pies entered will be considered for judging in the contest. No entry fee. One entry per family, please.

Pies of all kinds are baked by members of the Arts Center community and sold to benefit Arts Center programs.
