CraftBoston features over 200 craft artists who represent the finest in their respective fields. View exquisite works of art and enjoy the opportunity to meet and talk with the artists themselves. Participants will take guided tour of the fair at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, and then have the opportunity to enjoy the fair at their leisure, or explore Boston on their own.

The coach will make the final pick-up for the ride home at the CraftBoston at 4:45, and at Quincy Market at 5:00.
The $70 fee for the trip includes transportation from Lewiston to Boston and between the fair and Quincy Market, admission to the fair, and a guided tour of CraftBoston highlights. Please note: registration fees for this trip are not refundable after March 25th.
