Attention Crafters.
Porchfest doesn’t have a craft tent but those of you that may be interested you can get a space at Lapeer Farmers Market. They will be downtown and will have their own band for Porchfest Lapeer. Rumor has it that the crafters at Lapeer Farmers Market did VERY well last year! If you or anyone you know that may be interested contact Denise Becker at Historic Farmers Market and reserve your spot. Please like and share!
