The clouds gave way to beautiful sun for the Peddler’s Faire on Sunday. The day started with a breakfast at the Odd Fellows Hall then a shuttle would transport down to the park where the many vendors were set up. Knights Ferry school children went around with coffee and donuts to make money for their Washington D.C. trip, working with the Wandering Barista. The E Clampus Vitus managed parking again. The Sheriff’s department had officers on horseback and in cars. The STARS with the Sheriff’s Department manned the Museum. The town was packed with shoppers. The proceeds from this event helps keep Miller’s Hall maintained. The newest addition to Miller’s Hall is the heating and air system and new deck rails. A big thanks to Gayle Higgins and her crew for putting this on.
