The expanded market will host more than 45 vendors and food trucks

Buffalo, NY – Friends of Reinstein Woods invites the WNY community to its annual Artisan Market on Saturday, July 13 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This free, rain-or-shine event will take place at Reinstein Woods, 93 Honorine Dr. Depew, NY 14043. This year’s market will feature more than 45 artisans and vendors selling handmade jewelry, soy candles, paintings, photographs and more.

“We are always excited to spend a day at the woods, enjoying nature’s harmony, and this event also lets us support local businesses at the same time,” said Friends of Reinstein Woods President Eric Gallo. “We hope to see a lot of familiar faces and new families come out to support these local artisans, as well as discover everything that Reinstein Woods has to offer them!”

The event, sponsored by M&T Bank and West Herr, will also feature kids crafts, a basket raffle and five different food truck vendors. All proceeds go to furthering Friends of Reinstein Woods’s mission: to promote knowledge of nature through awareness, appreciation, and stewardship of the unique and diverse environment of Reinstein Woods and its programs.
