The Living Local Arts Fair returned to the Peterborough Unitarian Universalist Church on Saturday.

Local artisans, artists, and crafters displayed handmade items, and Robin’s Nest Preschool provided the bake sale, which was a fundraiser for the preschool. Over 30 local artists displayed their work at the fair, including glassblower Alex Kalish, glass artist Gigi Laberge, knitter Julie Brown, artist Madison Shafer, artist Hannah Ellingwood, painter Kate Webber and ceramicists Donni Webber and Yvette Fabian. Volunteers from the Monadnock Writers’ Group displayed books by local authors, including Carl Mabbs-Zeno, S.M. Stephens and Linda T. Kepner.

“It’s always a great day, and we’re so grateful to the community for coming out and supporting local artists and local businesses,” said organizer Roz Hanchett.
