Connecticut Made is a local resource guide full of things to find and buy, crafts to discover, factories to explore, and history to uncover. The items are all made in Connecticut or are places that one can shop at and/or tour. Organized by product type, categories include ceramics and pottery, clothing and accessories, furnishings and furniture, glassware, home décor, jewelry, specialty foods, toys and games, and more. Together, these homegrown establishments help make up the identity of the Nutmeg State and are part of the larger fabric of what is distinctively New England.
Registration can be made at www.scrantonlibrary.org (preferred) or by calling 203-245-7365. Copies of Connecticut Made will be on sale at the event.
