Staff Council to host 17th Annual Arts and Crafts Show
October 7, 2008
Early Christmas shoppers can beat the crowd this coming holiday season by shopping the 17th Annual Arts and Crafts Show at Indiana University Kokomo. The event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kelley Student Center and Alumni Hall.
More than 80 crafters and artisans from around the state will be on hand to display and sell their wares – from jewelry to purses to woodcrafts, and even stained glass. Each vendor has been hand-selected from a team of jurors from the staff council to ensure quality items are featured.
Cathy Archer, staff council member, encourages everyone to support local crafters and save on time and gas by purchasing gifts at the show. Proceeds from booth rent will benefit a scholarship fund for IU Kokomo students.
There is no admission fee; however, attendees are encouraged to bring a canned food or other non-perishable item for the Kokomo Crisis Center. Parking is also free.
Indiana University Kokomo serves a seven county, primary service area in north central Indiana. The campus offers more than 40 academic programs including four graduate degrees.
