Little Falls, NY – Get ready to shop, snack, and support local talent as the Little Falls High School Class of 2026 hosts its annual Fall Craft Fair on Saturday, November 1st, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Bursting with handmade treasures, unique finds, and community spirit, the event isn’t just a shopping spree—it’s a vital fundraiser helping seniors gear up for graduation and an unforgettable class trip.

As class President and head of the National Honor Society, Rebecca Hauser is at the helm, rallying students and volunteers to make it all happen. For Hauser, the fair is more than logistics—it’s a launchpad for senior milestones. Proceeds directly fund essentials like caps, gowns, and yearbooks, while bolstering the class account for a yet-to-be-finalized senior trip. “We can only charge so much for our senior trip, so this really helps offset the cost,” Hauser explained. “It still leaves money for fun things.”

With costs in mind, the class is scouting affordable destinations that promise adventure without breaking the bank.

But Hauser’s favorite moments? “I really like setting up and seeing what every vendor brings to the table the day of,” she shared. “You kind of get a sneak peek at, ‘Oh, I might want to get this later.'” And with ambitions to grow beyond last year’s 50 vendors—space permitting—the fair doubles as a spotlight for small businesses. More booths mean more cash for the class and greater exposure for crafters in the community.

Whether you’re a first-timer hunting unique gifts or a local entrepreneur eyeing a booth, Hauser has a pitch: “It’s a great way to get involved with your community. You never know who’s going to be there—you can meet new friends, connect with a vendor, learn about their mission.” It’s that element of surprise, she says, that keeps attendees coming back.

Held in the high school gym, the craft fair invites visitors to browse a vibrant array of vendors showcasing everything from jewelry and crochet goodies to Scentsy scents, Color Street nail designs, and quirky trinkets. This year, foodies will delight in fresh sourdough breads alongside a concession stand slinging mac and cheese and savory empanadas—perfect for fueling a day of discovery.

Organized by dedicated seniors, the fair relies on a team of student volunteers, including NHS members, to ensure smooth sailing. Class Secretary Nalla Luczyński-Perch is among those pitching in: “I’m just helping out as a senior and as an NHS member to help the vendors set up and give people directions,” she said.

Setup kicks off early, with students arriving around 7:30 a.m. to guide the roughly 50-plus vendors—each allotted a cozy 10-by-9-foot space—starting at 8 a.m. The exact volunteer count fluctuates with turnout, but the energy is always high.

The fair isn’t just for shoppers; vendors still have spots available for just $50 per booth (cash or check). Each table offers a prime chance to reach hundreds of enthusiastic locals while supporting a great cause.
