The Southeastern Massachusetts Community Resource and Craft Fair had a little bit for everyone, whether you were looking to find some new home decor or looking to get a flu shot.

The fair, back for its third year, was held on Oct. 25 at Dartmouth High School. Parents could come network with a variety of local vendors and resources. Raffles, live music, food and face-painting kept families busy.

The fair was hosted by the Special Education Parent Advisory Council. The resources provided at the event were for all kinds of students but particularly those with special health, social, emotional and learning needs.

Parked in front of the school was the Southcoast wellness van. All day, they conducted free health screenings to attendees and provided flu shots.

More than 100 tables were set up in the high school’s auditorium. The businesses present ran the gamut from handmade clothes and crocheted hats to unique jewelry, photography services, and artwork for sale. Also present were educational resources from centers dedicated to enriching kids through music, helping developmentally disabled kids, and even kids considering going to college locally.

The Schwartz Center, a regional consultation program, was one of many support programs for school-aged children. Nearly 70 years old, the Schwartz Center supports the transition of 3- to 5-year-olds into public school systems.

According to Schwartz Center representative Kim Wilmot, the center helps children with developmental delays and physical disabilities and provides a number of different types of therapies on top of any other treatments children may be receiving. Therapies may include behavioral or cognitive therapy as well as physical therapy and speech/language therapy, based on the child’s needs.

The center also provides consultation services for families of children with disabilities.

Other programs like Music Together were developed to help enrich children’s lives. Music Together is dedicated to teaching kids to express themselves through music.

“We teach music for music’s sake,” said Music Together Director Rhonda Matson.

Music in early childhood benefits kids their whole lives, Matson said. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children because young kids are much more likely to be enthusiastic about learning if their parents can lead by example. The more the kids are immersed in music, the more they will learn.

Matson encourages full immersion because “to learn language, you don’t just sit a child down and tell them ‘okay, it’s time to work on language. No. You speak to them, and you trust that the child will begin to pick things up… Music is like that. You trust they’ll take from it what they need.”

Classes typically have 12 students of all ages. These mixed age classes are beneficial to kids’ social-emotional learning, Matson said.

For resource fair first-timer Donna Cordeiro, the fair was tons of fun. All day, families were awed by her myriad of loomed hats. She’s been looming for about a year and a half now and, after retiring, she finally found the time to promote her business, Crafts by Donna, and attend fairs and events like this. Now she sells pillows, hats, dog sweaters, dish towels, Christmas ornaments and a number of other items.

Her hats were especially popular, particularly the bright yellow Minion hats.

“I’ve done well today,” Cordeiro said.

Artists like Sara Gidley took the day to show off their artwork to locals. Owner of Creations by Sara, Gidley boasted a huge collection of handmade beach frames. Her beach frames are one-of-a-kind mosaics of seashells, sea glass, and stones all collaged artfully together. Some of her pieces are less abstract, with sculptures of mystical creatures like mermaids and fairies in them.

Gidley has been making these pieces for over 10 years. She was inspired by where she lives in Padanaram Village, surrounded by the sea.
