Our hearts are full, Croghan.
What an evening.
The sun was shining, the lawn was full, the picnic tables generously provided by the Village of Croghan were filled with families and friends, and everywhere we looked, our community was enjoying the evening together.
To every person who came out to eat, shop, listen to music, bring the kids, visit with neighbors, and simply spend the evening with us — thank you. You are the reason we put this event together.
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors — Carthage Savings, Buckingham Hardware & Great Outdoors, Vinny’s Pizzeria, Red Rooster, and Northern Credit Union — for investing in this event and helping us create something our entire community could enjoy.
To St. Stephen’s Church, thank you for once again allowing us to gather on your beautiful lawn and giving us a place right in the heart of Croghan to bring everyone together.
To our food trucks, thank you for showing up ready to feed a crowd and offering our community some incredible food. To every artisan and vendor, thank you for the hours that go into your craft long before an event begins — and then for the additional time spent loading, setting up, welcoming everyone into your spaces, packing it all back up, and heading home. We know how much work goes into being there, and we are grateful you chose to spend the evening with Croghan.
And what an evening it was for the kids. Inflatable Escapades, LLC brought the bounce house, alongside face painting and balloon tying, while Kasidee and Bill filled the lawn with live music.
But our favorite part was simply looking across that lawn and seeing it full.
Full picnic tables.
Full vendor spaces.
Kids playing.
Music carrying across the lawn.
Neighbors sitting together.
People supporting local businesses and artisans.
And, after two Croghan Street Fairs this summer, some very full hearts.
Thank you, Croghan, for showing up for one another. This little community made something pretty special happen this summer, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who was a part of it.
One more thing: If you went home still thinking about something special or handmade you saw at one of the vendor booths, but you didn't catch the maker's name or aren't sure how to find them, send us a message or leave a comment. Tell us what you remember about the piece or the booth, and we'll do our best to put you in touch with the vendor. Supporting these makers doesn't have to end when the tents come down.
