> Korner held its annual craft market day.
> The market is put  on by the Krafters Korner as a way to bring
> publicity to the group of over  125 people.  The members in the group
> enjoy  a variety of crafts in  there free time including: knitting,
> crocheting, spinning, safety pin  beading, soap making, wood carving,
> plastic canvas, beading, jewelry making,  baking, canning etc. At the
> market which was held for an entire afternoon  fellow federationists
> were able to browse the marketplace for a little  something that was
> handmade by members of the Krafters Korner.
> Among  the merchandise was a table full of lovely beaded jewelry, a
> table with hand  knitted hats and coffee cup cozies, a table with
> plastic canvas key chains  and much much more.  While at the market
