Are you crafty?

This year the Storybook Lane Gift Shop will be expanding to include mini-Dairyville Christmas Bazaar. It will be located in the 4-H Discovery Farm Clubhouse.
We would like to invite club members to participate in the Christmas Bazaar. If you knit, sew, carve, draw or create any crafty hand-made items, we need your talent. The sale will be Friday through Sunday, December 7,8,9; 14,15,16; and 21,22,23. The third weekend will be optional as some people may not be able to pick up their unsold items at the end of the sale on Sunday the 23rd.

If you or your club would like an application to be a vendor or have any questions, please contact:
