Cattaraugus County
The 14th annual W.I.L.M.A. (We Invite Local Manufacturers & Artisans) event, will take place this Saturday, October 17 (4pm) and Sunday, October 18 (3pm) at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds in Little Valley, NY.
What is WILMA Woolly Bear Weekend It’s not your average craft show! All vendors at this event are local business owners, manufacturers, artisans, or crafters from Cattaraugus County. WILMA is a family-oriented event showcasing items handmade or manufactured in Cattaraugus County by our talented local artisans and manufacturers. This event was created to promote shopping local and buying local, just in time for the holiday season. Admission is free for the public. Businesses contribute through a minimal registration fee, which is pooled for door prizes in the form of WILMA bucks. The first 50 attendees on Saturday and the first 25 on Sunday will receive $5 in WILMA bucks. Plus, on Saturday, we’ll have three drawings: $75, $50, and $25 in WILMA bucks. You won’t want to miss out! Throughout the weekend, enjoy special events including a winter weather prediction by “WILMA” the Woolly Bear Caterpillar—maybe you’ll even get to hold her! We’ll have Chinese Auction Raffles, cider, donuts, and much more. This indoor event will go on rain or shine at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds in Little Valley, NY. Vendors will be available Saturday, October 17th, from 10am-4pm and Sunday, October 18th, from 11am-3pm.
