Children will display and sell handicrafts that they have been working on all year. Now is a great time to start working on building up an inventory. While only homeschooling children will be selling and displaying their handicrafts, this will be open to anyone who would like to come and support them! So spread the word!
Plans are in the works to secure a food truck for the event. Everyone is also welcome to bring a picnic lunch!
If your child would like to participate, please email Angel for more information at msangelamarie AT gmail DOT com
This will also be posted on the Charlotte Mason of Harford County fb group.
