Veterans' Home Craft Fair exceeded all expectations

On Saturday, Nov. 2, the New Hampshire Veterans’ Home held its second annual Craft Fair. The fair was a huge success and, once again, we exceeded all expectations. There were 39 vendors selling a variety of homemade crafts, over 100 raffle prizes, and a White Elephant room where we sold a plethora of items.
