NRT's HARVEST FAIR

NRT's Harvest & Craft Fair

Hello to all of our friends who are eagerly awaiting news about the 2021 Harvest and Craft Fair at NRT! We are all hopeful that we will be able to have the event in 2021, but we must be closer to the actual event date before any final decisions can be made. All of our decisions will need to be based on the safety and operation guidelines that are available as the event gets closer. We know that many of you are anxious to know more, and we are, too! We will provide information as it becomes available. We will be updating the NRT website here with any news of the event in the weeks and months ahead to keep everyone updated.
