St. James Episcopal Church on Old Mill Road in Mount Vernon held its 2nd annual arts & craft fair on Saturday, Oct. 24. Fifty vendors set up tables and tents featuring a varied range of handmade items. This year’s co-chairs Ann Chadwick and Andy de la Cort were pleased with the community turnout. Tom Chadwick made his special recipe chili, grilled burgers and fries and served food throughout the day. The rain held off till almost three as the vendors began to pack up. The church plans to host the event again next year.
