SPENCER — A tasty town indeed. Gastronomy was the name of the game during the Spencer Taste of the Town event held at Knox Trail Junior High School on Thursday, Nov. 15. The event was to benefit Knox Trail concert band and its members. Residents made their way out to the Ash Street school to sample some of the area’s most enticing food fare, which included dishes from Carmella’s Italian Kitchen of Brookfield, Dairy Queen of Spencer and many other local eateries.

WEST BROOKFIELD — The West Brookfield Parent-Teacher Group held its Fourth Annual Vendor and Craft Fair Saturday, Nov. 10 at West Brookfield Elementary School. According to PTG Vice President and fair coordinator Lisa Marie Berthel (with help from her husband, Don), there were 61 vendors and crafters — a far cry from the 28 vendors at the first fair, and the largest fair yet. There was a mixture of first-time and longtime sellers, she said. “It’s gotten so big that we’ve had to go out into the two hallways,” she said. The proceeds will be used to pay for buses for field trips, the Books and Beyond reading program, subscriptions to Time for Kids for all classrooms and other needs at the school, Berthel said.

Jordan Wetherell, 5, of Palmer and her grandmother, Debbie DeCoste of West Brookfield, look at some of the jewelry available for purchase at the Vendor and Craft Fair.

David Dore photos Friends and second-graders Lauren Cook, left, and Maggie Stevens, center, hug — and are joined by Maggie’s 2-year-old sister, Caroline, right.

Dresses with a Thanksgiving theme was just one of the items that could be bought at the Vendor and Craft Fair.

Paris Prinsen, 8, of West Brookfield hugs a pillow-shaped plush known as a Squg that could be bought at the Vendor and Craft Fair.

West Brookfield Elementary School is selling a collection of recipes from the school’s pupils, staff and families and West Brookfield residents called “Hometown Favorites.” The cookbook is available Barbara Haberlin of Brookfield spins yarn during the for purchase for $10; call the school at (508) 867- Vendor and Craft Fair. 4655 for more information.

Cub Scouts Pack 118 was one of the groups selling items such as ice and hot packs at this year’s Vendor and Craft Fair. A vendor explains some of her items to customers.
