Photos and story by Monty Siekerman
In only its second year, the craft fair at Vancrest drew a large number of vendors--34--and a steady stream of shoppers throughout the day on Saturday.
Customers found a huge variety of holiday and everyday items to choose from, including jewelry, Christmas towels, Mary Kay products, cookies, and all manner of unique crafts.
Here are some scenes from the fair, including people you may know and a glance at some of the one-of-a-kind items that were offered for sale.
