EVENTS

Holiday Lights - Craft & Gift Fair

Our first exciting show of the holiday season starts at the Arlington International Race Course! You will have the opportunity to see all the new unique gift items and fragrances I have been cooking up just for this show. If you have attended this event in the past, you will be happy to know this year is different. Karen Yackley of Craft Productions, Inc. has teamed up with Tower Show Productions to bring you a more homey, handcrafted experience. I'm excited to announce that they are focusing on local crafters, unique one-of-a-kind gift items, and supporting small ma and pa businesses. They listened to what the consumer and other crafters wanted in a show and are attempting to give it to them. Please bring your friends and family and join us to demonstrate your support of this improved venue.

Kevin's Comments

I want to be perfectly honest with you. There has been some concern that this show was decreasing its vendor participation and the quality of the products, while increasing the entrance fee. Raw Candles has always been very successful at this event, thanks to my loyal fan base and positive promotions. But just because I did well doesn't mean I don't listen to the concerns of thousands of holiday shoppers. I heard and agreed with you!

I am back for one reason. There is a new sheriff in town and her name is Karen Yackley. She boldly took over the reigns of a dieing show to revitalize its integrity. Karen knows what it's like to be a crafter and cares about her clients. She has reduced the inflated entry fee, lowered the parking cost, and is offering more prizes to our guests. Most importantly, she is focusing on "Handmade in the U.S.A." not machine made overseas.

I want to give the Holiday Lights Craft and Gift Fair an opportunity to bring back what you asked for. I hope you will to! And I'm going to help in the effort by offering amazing show specials and one-of-a-kind handmade products. Come on out and shop 'til you drop. Our staff looks forward to seeing you there. Have a wonderful holiday!
