Annual crafts fair fundraiser will be held Oct. 11

The 2025 edition of the Paws-itively Fall Festival, an annual fundraising crafts fair, promises to be bigger and better than ever.

 

This year’s event will include more than 40 vendors, highlighted by award-winning author Janet Raye Stevens. It will be held at the Dolbeare School gym, 340 Lowell St., in Wakefield on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

 

Admission and parking are free. A portion of the proceeds will benefit PAWS.

 

Stevens will be selling and autographing copies of her many books, unique fiction works that span everything from World War II mysteries to time travel to concocted historical narratives. Her novels feature humor, heart and a dash of suspense.
