The season for craft fairs is fast approaching. Nearly every community has them, and the larger communities have several, each with a different twist. For instance, the Candlelight and Holly event in Barriere, and the Crafters Only Craft Sale in Blackpool, are both geared to artisans and crafters, while the No-Host Bazaar in Barriere is for community groups only, and is a great place to see what groups are active in the community.
