Holiday arts and crafts fair slated
Morehead State University’s Kentucky Folk Art Center will hold its annual Appalachian Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair at the Laughlin Health Building on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. With more than 100 artists and craftspeople from Kentucky and other states, the fair is the largest and most diverse event of its kind in the region.
The Appalachian Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair offers visitors a wide and varied selection of regional arts and crafts, ranging from the traditional to the cutting edge, including many holiday decorations and gifts. Admission to the fair is $3 per person; children under 12 are admitted free.
“There’s something for everyone,” said Tammy Stone, one of the event coordinators. “Visitors will find traditional crafts, holiday decorations, handmade furniture. It’s the best opportunity in the region to find unique, handmade holiday gifts.”
“This is certainly one of our most successful and well-attended events,” said Matt Collinsworth, KFAC director. “Last year, the holiday fair set another record for attendance, and the quality of arts and crafts offered continues to improve each year. It represents a wonderful opportunity for regional craftspeople and the area’s holiday shoppers.”
The Kentucky Folk Art Center is a cultural, educational and economic development service of Morehead State University.
