This is our fourth letterbox in the craft box series.

Remsen Barn FOTA is a craft festival of the arts steeped in Welsh traditions. We love this show for so many reasons, being Welsh helps, but it is a show that one can spend the entire day at - the food, the entertainment, the history...300 booths and 30,000 shoppers. We've had the priviledge of listening to Cast in Bronze - a traveling carillon. You can find out more about it at the website I posted.

Directions: Remsen is located north of Utica, NY just off route 12. So, if you are heading north on rte 12 you will take a right hand turn onto Steuben Street. At the end of this street turn left onto Main Street, pass Pine Street and take your next right onto 920V. This road probably isn't labeled as such - I forgot to check when I was there. But the next road off Main Street is Depot Street so you will know that you have gone too far. After turning onto 920V cross over the railroad tracks and turn left. You will see the Remsen Train Depot up ahead.

Clue:
As you start to pull into the parking lot you will see on your right a clock and then some street lights. The letterbox is hidden under the juniper shrubs at the base of the second street light. It is on the left side as you face the lamp standing in the parking lot. Reach down and into the shrubbery to find the box.
