The Crafty Fair~
established in 2009
The Crafty Fair began when Rosy Hawbaker wanted to create more opportunities in Madison, for local makers to showcase and sell their handmade creations. What started as a way to sell her own wares quickly grew into a beloved community event, drawing talented artisans, crafters, and shoppers from across the region. Thanks to the overwhelming support it received, Rosy kept The Crafty Fair going year after year—even through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, The Crafty Fair continues to celebrate creativity, support small businesses, and connect the community with unique, handcrafted goods.
