HARVEST CRAFT FAIR // OCTOBER 2023 // ALUMNI GYM

The Alvin C. Baker Harvest Craft Fair, hosted by the Blount County Alumni Association’s Board of Directors, is an annual craft fair benefiting the BCAA Scholarship Endowment Fund, which provides scholarships to Blount County students attending Maryville College. This year's Harvest Craft Fair will be held in October 2023, from 9:00 am - 3:30 pm in the Alumni Gym located directly behind Bartlett Hall on the Maryville College campus. This location puts the fair closer to the center of activities on campus.

Applications to be a vendor in this year's Harvest Craft Fair will open in April. Please contact craftfairatmc@outlook.com with any questions.
