WILTON — For lack of a space, the annual Mt. Blue Christmas Craft Fair is cancelled for this year.
After the Western Maine Expo, formerly the Nichols Expo, closed its doors to public events last year, finding another location that can house more than 175 crafters and vendors has not been successful.
“There just doesn’t seem to be a location,” organizer Shannon Smith said.
The well-attended fair held in early November offered the wares of crafters in time for Christmas and local entertainment that usually included at least one musical group from the high school.
“We are working on a location for 2012, but this is a big financial loss to the classes,” she added.
The event, which has taken place for the past 17 past years, is a fundraiser sponsored by the Mt. Blue High School junior and senior classes for Project Graduation.
“We wish to thank everyone for all their support and understanding,” Smith said in a release.
