The Izard County Extension Homemakers' annual Holiday Craft Fair is set for today at the Izard County Fairgrounds in Melbourne. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the fairgrounds' Educational Building on LeCrosse Road.
County Extension Council President Kelly Russell has announced that 36 local vendors will participate, offering a variety of handmade items, repurposed goods, and commercial products for sale. Visitors can browse unique wares while also enjoying breakfast, lunch, and an assortment of treats available for purchase.
The event is free to attend, and attendees are encouraged to follow the signs and crowds heading to the fairgrounds. A special guest "from up north" is expected to make a stop at the fair until about noon, adding a festive touch to the holiday gathering.
