Hello to all our friends in Houlton

To the editor:
On Oct 16th and 17th we’re going to be having our 38th annual Fall Arts & Crafts Fair at Caribou High School from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. With 140-plus crafters each year, it’s always a special event for those unique gifts for loved ones, but we have several special add-ons this year, and I’m sure you’re not going to want to miss the party!
We’re again borrowing The Cash Cube from the Houlton Fair Association, and we’ll be running it continuously throughout the weekend: we have an absolute mountain of great goodies and baubles to win, and Crafter Cash too (free)!
We’ll also have the Tatitudes folks from Houlton on Saturday, doing free air brush tattoos, and on Sunday the lovely ladies at Citadel radio will be doing a live remote, and we will be doing a drawing for: a trip to Vegas for two, a kayak package for two (including the paddles and lifejackets), an Apple iPad, a bus tour trip for two, and a house cleaning (one of the personal favorites in our office, what woman wouldn’t want someone else to come clean their house?)!
Tickets for all these items are $1 each or 30 tickets for $20. The drawing for Vegas is separate (we should note, the disclaimer we’re considering is: you’ll win a trip for two, but we’re going to flip a coin in the offices here, and one of us will be joining you)!
Finally, free for the children, we’re going to have a separate drawing for an iPod Touch (Caribou Cares About Kids)! Tickets are on sale now, and all the proceeds will be going to: Caribou Kiwanis, The Soup Kitchen and the Caribou Historical Society.
Come early on Saturday: several artisans have items folks wait all year to purchase! Thank you to all the Houlton folks who’re helping us make this especially great, and most especially your fabulous Houlton Chamber Director, Lori Weston!
For more information, or to purchase tickets, call us at the Caribou Chamber anytime at 800-722-7132, or drop us a line on Facebook. It’s going to be a party to remember!
