Rich Mialki and Bob Ball have taken an inventory of our stock for the Erie County Fair. The inventory is on the web site and attached as page 2 of this newsletter. Please take a few moments and see what is in stock. Even if you see there is a decent amount of something in stock, please feel free to make more. The amount of merchandise sold at the fair is astounding, and if you have any ideas for something new, make a bunch. It will sell. No matter what the skill level or price, ALL items will go. So, make a couple of anything and bring them to the next meeting. All donations will be appreciated.
