Brudnick Center for Living Hosts 2nd Annual Crafts Fair

The Jeffrey and Susan Brudnick Center for Living was buzzing with joy and creativity on Sunday, October 19, as residents, families, staff, and neighbors came together for our Second Annual Crafts Fair — a now-beloved tradition!

Highlights from the Day:
• Nearly 500 attendees filled the halls with laughter and connection.
• 30 local vendors — including staff, family members, and community artisans — showcased their incredible handmade goods.
• The fair raised over $5,000, all benefiting resident activities and enrichment programs!

From crocheted hats and lace villages to wooden creations, candles, jewelry, and homemade treats, there was truly something for everyone. Beyond the beautiful crafts, the heart of the day was our shared mission: supporting meaningful experiences for our residents.

A huge thank-you to our Activity Director Nancy Bekel, Food Service Manager Sally Little, and every vendor, volunteer, and visitor who helped make this year’s fair a success.

We’re already dreaming up ideas for next year’s Crafts Fair — and can’t wait to see you there!

Vendor Spotlight!

We’re excited to welcome Kim Lindfield to our October Craft Fair! Kim is a talented crafter who pours her creativity and passion into making handcrafted jewelry featuring semi-precious stones, metals, and unique beads that inspire her designs.

Her beautiful metal earrings are made using a special technique called metal weaving, where she twists craft wire and interlaces it between strips of sheet metal to create one-of-a-kind, lightweight pieces that shine with originality.

Kim is looking forward to meeting new people and sharing her love of crafting—be sure to stop by her table and see her stunning creations in person!
