The Merion Village Association will hold its 16th Annual Crafters & Artisans Market this weekend. The event, the major fundraiser for the civic association, will take place 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 4 at Gates-Fourth United Methodist Church, 1234 S. Fourth St.

“It’s amazing to me that that is the 16th year,” said Bob Leighty, president of the Merion Village Civic Association. “I don’t know where the time goes.” Proceeds benefit the association’s upkeep.

“It helps keep that storefront open and it helps us for expenses with community outreach,” Leighty said, noting that advertising and the association’s newsletter are included.
