Village Country Store is seeking locally created items that reflect the traditions and skills of
the 19th century to supplement Village Country Store wares. The
Country Store has always offered consigned merchandise, but this year would

interest in woodworking, basket making, weaving, fiber arts, pottery,
candle, and soap makers. Other categories of interest are shelf-stable
foods, spices, and sauces from licensed facilities.
Inquiries may be
addressed to Clare Juechter, Chief Administrative Officer, cjuechter@hcsv.org.
