Have a Handmade Holiday at the Daviess County Public Library Craft Fair
Y'all know I LOVE me a craft fair. Fairs, festivals, markets, etc. have really become popular in the last several years. It's great for small makers and creative folks to have a place to sell their wares.
Handmade Gifts Are Unique & One of a Kind
Also, it gives us a chance to have these talented people all in one spot where we can go shopping to find treasures and one-of-a-kind items throughout the year. My favorite kinds of gifts are unique and special to the friend or family on the receiving end. A lot of times that means they're handmade.
Over 40 Local Vendors to Shop From
The Daviess County Public Library is hosting its annual Holiday Craft Fair in a couple of weeks. Event coordinator, Sarah McDuffie shared, "This community-focused event will showcase over 40 local vendors offering a variety of handcrafted items, perfect for holiday gifts and seasonal decor. With an expected turnout of around 500 visitors, it’s a fantastic opportunity for community members to support local artisans and small businesses."
Food Trucks Have Your Lunch Plans Covered
Keep scrolling for a sneak peek of those artisans and small businesses, but first I have to make you hungry. Because shopping can wear a person out and everyone loves a good food truck! Local food trucks, The Crowe's Nest and Taqueria La Bendicion De Dios will be in the parking lot so you can grab some delicious food after you've worked up an appetite knocking folks off your shopping list.
I mean, look at this chicken sandwich!
These tacos are my favorite in town. They also do burritos, nachos, quesadillas, street corn...mmmmm...
