More crafters than ever on tap for expanded Fall Craft Fair
Every year, organizers of Ocean Lakes’ popular Fall Craft
Fair faced the same scenario: A long list of crafters craving to participate in
the event that quickly sold out.
So this year, the 24th Annual Fall Craft Fair has
expanded to two days to give all interested crafters a chance to sell their
homemade items.
“That way new people could get in,” said Salle Horner, Sandy
Harbor and Recreational Activities Coordinator. “We always had so many people
on the waiting list to get a booth, but we didn’t have enough spots. Adding a
day gives more crafters the chance to participate.”
The two-day Craft Fair kicks off Friday, Sept. 23 in our
Recreation Center. Hours are 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 24. Guests staying at Ocean Lakes are exclusively allowed to
shop during the first three hours each day. The fair opens to the public at 4
p.m. Friday and noon Saturday.
More than 100 crafters over the two days will sell homemade
items such as wreaths, jewelry, birdhouses, scarves, soaps, dolls, pictures,
woodworking and more.
“There is a variety, a very wide variety of things to buy,”
Horner said.
Different crafters will be set up each day. All the booths
for Saturday are reserved, but there are some spots for crafters available
Friday. A 9x9 booth for Friday is just $20. Reserve your spot by calling our
Recreation Center at 843-238-0130.
The Craft Fair is free to attend. For shoppers who need more
cash, an ATM is located in the Arcade next to the Recreation Center.
