Annual Craft Fair and Custodial Bake Sale
Carleton College’s annual Craft Fair and Custodial Scholarship Bake Sale is back!
This long-standing event welcomes the entire Northfield community to shop the wares of Carleton staff and community members. A wide variety of hand-crafted items and baked goods will be available for purchase.
The craft fair portion of this event was first organized in 1982 by then-Carleton employee Loretta Springer as a way to showcase and sell homemade items by Carleton staff.
The bake sale portion of the event was organized to support the Carleton Custodial Scholarship Fund. The Custodial Scholarship Fund was established in 1993 by Carleton custodian Pat Flynn, who retired in 2005. More than three-quarters of the current custodial staff contribute a portion of each paycheck to this endowed fund, which provides financial aid to at least one student each year.
