Hello,
Hope all are still in good health, we are all fine but this is getting old.
Another quick update . . .
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic more of our Summer Craft Fairs are being cancelled and others are still awaiting confirmation.
For 30 years we have had an excellent working relationship with all the Towns where we host fairs. However since the Covid-19 pandemic m
ost of these Towns have reduced hours or have closed their offices to the public.
Many do not answer the phone or return calls or emails.
It is very frustrating and difficult to work this way and I thank you for your patience.
Here is the current status of our 2020 Summer Fairs:
June 20 & 21, 2020
~ CANCELLED
Bass River Arts & Craft Festival
South Yarmouth, MA
The Town of Yarmouth has cancelled this event stating "fairs and festivals are prohibited in the State at this time."
July 11 & 12, 2020 ~ CANCELLED
Liberty Craft Festival
Chatham, MA
The Town of Chatham has cancelled all 2020 events.
July 11 & 12, 2020 ~
CANCELLED
Craft Fair at the Bay
Alton Bay, NH

July 18 & 19, 2020

Hyannis Summer Arts & Craft Festival
Hyannis, MA
The Town of Hyannis is not issuing permits yet. They are considering protocols, but it seems
very likely we will have to cancel July, please stay tuned.
July 25 & 26, 2020 ~
CANCELLED
Brewster Summer Arts & Craft Festival
Brewster, MA
The Brewster Board of Health voted on June 3rd to suspend all scheduled organized activities at Drummer Boy Park through the month of July, 2020 out of an abundance of caution.
W
e are still hopeful for August 29 & 30.
August 1 & 2, 2020
~
CANCELLED
Chatham Summer Craft Festival
Chatham, MA
The Town of Chatham has cancelled all 2020 events.
Each State has their own phased-in reopening criteria and if those stay true, we remain cautiously optimistic that our late summer fairs will be allowed to take place because the timing puts them at the end of phase 3 or the beginning of phase 4. Fingers crossed.
We will work to keep you updated.
If you were signed up to participate in any of the cancelled events, you will be getting another email from me within the next week or so either showing a refund or a reapplication of fees paid toward future Castleberry events.
Thank you again for your trust and patience.
Please STAY WELL.
Peace,
