The Grand Crafts on the Island, the 2005 version, enjoyed very warm, sunny days along the Town Commons. Craft show organizers Robin Swedish and Kathy Smith rallied a group of volunteer helpers to set up the event. The perimeter of the park was booth upon booth, as was the inner circle. There were numerous crafts and several booths offering foods to delight the palate. Music was provided by an excellent crew of musicians, Jerry D’Amico and Brimstone, who played all the “good”music. Face-painting was popular with the kids. Iced bottled water was in demand, as were frozen candy bars offered by the Zonta Club (along with their basket raffle). Girl Scouts had several additional items in the food line. St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields Church offered baked goods, The Grand Island Rotary Club had hot dogs and the Town Recreation Department featured a coloring book collection originally designed by two young boys.
