Nothing says the holiday season is upon us like amazing little craft markets, spread through the quaint towns in the 315. One of those towns, totally worth the drive, is an hour from Syracuse and 40 minutes from Utica.

Some of the local vendors you’ll find are:

• 3Kitties Designs

• Brake from the Grind

• Form and Folk

• Mama’s Country Kitchen

• The Terracatta House

If you’re ready to support local vendors while checking those special gifts off your holiday list, here are the details.
