Following months of planning, the Village Venture Arts & Crafts Festival came to town on Saturday, drawing a large crowd of Claremont residents and visitors. The fun began, as usual, with the children’s costume parade at 9:30 a.m. and continued with good food and shopping the many artisan booths. The event also included booths promoting local charities, a health clinic at Hendricks Pharmacy, music at Shelton Park, a welcoming ceremony at the Chamber of Commerce, and entertainment at the Claremont Depot.
