TILTON – The New Hampshire Veterans Home will host its 5th annual craft fair today from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Home’s pavilion, accessible from Colby Road in Tilton. The fair features free admission in its outdoor venue.

Vendor space registration fees and raffle sales benefit the NHVH Resident Benefit Fund. This fund provides the continuation of quality programs for our state’s veterans through trips, entertainment, programs and other activities.

“We are once again delighted with the response we received from artisans throughout the State,” shared Patty Copeland, supervisor of volunteer activities. “Over 80 vendors will be on our grounds offering hand-crafted items for fall and the holidays, in addition to timeless treasures and unique gifts. We look forward to featuring these talented craftspeople who provide something for everyone.”

This year’s fair will once again provide availability to the Home’s popular raffle with a wide variety gift certificates and merchandise. Raffle participants enter to win individual items of their choice, with over 140 themed raffle baskets, gift cards, games, children’s toys and holiday items from which to choose. A 50/50 raffle as well as a Boston Celtics basketball with the entire team signatures from last season will also be raffled.

The New Hampshire Veterans Home is home to men and women veterans who have served their country and fellow New Hampshire citizens. NHVH was established in Tilton in 1890 as the Soldier’s Home for Civil War Veterans and is a recipient of the Quality of Life Award from the NH Department of Health & Human Services and the Business Inspiration Award from the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce. The mission of NHVH is to provide high quality, professional long-term care services to the Granite State’s elderly and disabled veterans with dignity, honor and respect.
