Craftsbury students created over 100 handcrafted ceramic bowls, each symbolizing the spirit of giving. Five local ceramic artists donated unique pottery pieces for a silent auction, adding to the event’s success.
Twenty individuals and businesses contributed to the meal with approximately 15 crock pots of soup, bread, salads and cookies.
Craftsbury K-12 art teacher Alayne Tetor was instrumental in developing, planning, and seeing to the event’s success.
