recraft_logo.gifThis weekend isn’t yet over, but it’s not too early to start planning for the next, which should be a good one for anyone in the Boston area: It’s the first-ever Recraft Fair, which features an afternoon of recycled craft vendors, live music and free hands-on craftivities (read: decorate reusable grocery bags and enjoy “freestyle” recycled crafting).

Recraft Fair
Saturday, August 18 (rain date August 19)
3 to 7 p.m.
Union Square Central Plaza
Somerville, Massachusetts
(intersection of Washington, Prospect and Somerville Ave.)
