Craft show/Dutchess County (Poughkeepsie, Beacon: buying, high schools, community college)

[candylkeme]

Does anyone know anything about a holiday Craft show in Poughkeepsie Ny in November at the Dutchess Community college? I am scheduled to do it and was just wondering how the crowds were, buying public and if this is a thriving area or depressed?

Thanks

There are a million craft shows that happen...Arlington high schools craft shows are usually pretty big..so I can imagine that DCC would be big too. As far as the area..certainly NOT depressed...growing out of control with subdivisions and stores opening up all over the place. I dont go to craft shows myself..but if its at a college..it may not be bad.

The show is a large one and covers crafts,not high end. It's a good place to get gifts. Not too crowded. Great things to do in community so worth a visit. Visit FDR or Vanderbuilt home. Raptor center is fascinating. Rhinebeck adn Woodsotck adn nearby and interesting shops and restaurants. 30 minutes is Beacon Dia which is a world class modern art museum.
