CLARKS SUMMIT — Despite the rainy forecast which pushed the rest of the Community Block Party events indoors, the Pocket Park Partners’ Mini Craft Fair and Tag Sale, held in conjunction with the Abington Business and Professional Association event, made a splash Friday evening, Aug. 11 on Depot Street with a variety of handmade items, baked goods, children’s activities and more.
