The Collingswood Crafts & Fine Arts Festival boosts local creatives

COLLINGSWOOD, New Jersey (WPVI) -- Local artists got a big boost in exposure this weekend in South Jersey.

It was the Collingswood Crafts & Fine Arts Festival.

This was the 19th year they held the festivities, something the original founder was in attendance to appreciate today.

"I love this. It's more than work for them. It's love. There couldn't be anything better than that," said Sheila Goodman, original founder of the show.

"Sheila was the originator of this festival, and it is an honor to continue her legacy in this festival and have it grow. And in this wonderful town of Collingswood, everybody just works so well as a team. I really appreciate that," said show producer, Debbie Kraponick.
