One craft fair in Luzerne County was all about celebrating the unique talents of individuals with developmental disabilities.

KINGSTON, Pa. — March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Mental Health and Developmental Services want to celebrate the talents of those with developmental disabilities.

The organization hosted an arts and crafts fair titled 'Artistic Expressions: An Inclusive Art and Craft Fair.'
