Holiday Festival of Crafts & Gifts Show Coming to Expo Center November 18-20

So it may be a week before Thanksgiving, but mall retailers aren't waiting to help you get started on your holiday shopping, and neither are your local business owners and craftspeople who have way cooler items for sale anyway.

The 3rd Annual Festival of Crafts & Gifts Show presented by the city of Enumclaw at the Expo Center from November 18 through November 20 gives you the chance to shop from among more than 70 vendors with a wide variety of gift items including holiday wreaths, hand-blown and etched glass, fudge, jewelry, dried spices, baby accessories, food, lattes and much more.

Stroll among the many offerings and enjoy the holiday tunes courtesy of Allegro Women's Ensemble, Tori Whitten, and performances by the Ballet Workshop and Dance It Up.

The event takes from from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, Nov. 19; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Heather Boren Photography will be on-site capturing your 2011 Santa photos. Avoid those lines at the mall and check off a holiday task by getting pictures taken early! Days and hours of the photo sessions are: Friday 2:00pm-4:00pm, Saturday 10:00am-12:00pm, 3:00pm-5:00pm, and Sunday 12:00pm-2:00pm.
