Festival
that

being
held
at

on

The

started
the

but
following
their
retirement
last
spring,
Nancy
Nichols
stepped
in
to
organize
this
year's
event.
The
craft
festival
is
full
of
unique
handmade
crafts,
original
artwork,
handmade
gifts,
and
Christmas
decorations.
There
will
be
demonstrations
and
hourly
raffl
es
for
one-of-a-kind
items.
Crafters
come
from
all
over
the
country
and
even
from
Canada
when
they
come
for
the
winters
here
in
the
Southwest,
and
it
is
always
great
to
see
them
again
every
year.
They
spend
their
summers
doing
all
their
unique
craft
items
and
bring
them
to
the
Santa's
Workshop
to
bring
more
Christmas
spirit
to
the
holiday
spirit!!
The
festival
is
located
in
the
metal
building
at
Tyson
Wells
Showgrounds,
121
W.
Kuehn
