Dan's Crafts & Things

*edit* We're open! Today's delayed opening was entirely unexpected and was brought to you by the construction team delivering year #4 of the "three year project" to replace Empire Blvd. Hopefully this nice new power pole will serve us well for the next 50 years. Thank you for your patience and understanding this morning. ... #DansCraftsAndThings *** We just found out there will be a power interruption Tuesday 2/2 that will prevent us from opening on time. Please delay your visit until after 12 noon or call to check before coming.
