Marcy Lantz of North Webster, left, and her mother, Mary Waldron of Warsaw, chat under the canopy of their display of homemade crafts at the Mermaid Festival Grounds. Waldron, 87, crocheted, knitted and sewed hundreds of items, such as potholders, scrubbies, placemats, rugs, hot pads, kitchen towel sets, dishcloths and doilies for the sale. “It gives her something to do for the winter,” said Lantz, who made face masks for the event.
