With sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, over 23,000 people packed the Village on Saturday, October 25 for the Claremont Chamber’s 43rd annual Village Venture Arts and Crafts Festival. More than 400 booths lined the streets, offering handmade crafts, jewelry, local business displays, and plenty of good food from local vendors. The day kicked off with the popular Halloween costume parade — pets included — setting the tone for a festive day of shopping, music, food and fun.
