Fall Crafts Fairs Two longtime favorite fall crafts fairs have packed up their tents and gone home, but three new ones are stepping into the lineup for next weekend. Spanker Creek Farm Arts, Crafts & More has been canceled for 2022, and the Bella Vista Arts & Crafts Festival has ended after more than 50 years. That's the bad news. The good news is that Wishing Spring Gallery in Bella Vista will host a fall show Oct. 14-15 outdoors at its home at 8862 W. McNelly Road; the United Lutheran Church in Bella Vista will present its first Pumpkin Patch Arts & Crafts Festival Oct. 14-15; and down the interstate in Fayetteville, the Northwest Arkansas Mall will host an indoor event Oct. 13-16 that Anne Burbage started decades ago at Dixieland Mall — now Frisco Station Mall — in Rogers.

Hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 14-15.

Hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Oct. 14 and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 15.
