If you like the outdoors, you'll love The Summer Market, down at the waterfront in Hudson, N.Y. This is the forth year for this large market featuring vendors, vintage goods, music and food. The park is right on the river, with plenty of easy parking.  Two of our very active makers will be there. Paul, of KmiotekArtWorks, will be bringing his note cards and art work based on his original pen and ink drawings. Sarah, of  SO Handmade, will also be there with her unique assortment of products for children and the home.
