Local made pottery, photography, artwork, clothing, sewn items, calendars, soap, water color art, fiber, books, as well as jewelry. It’s fun to see what moves people and the creativity flow that is alive and well in the Northland. Women-made items are a definite part of the businesses up here in the region and hand-made. Come to the fair and purchase plenty items to take home for yourself or as gifts.

A portion of the vendor fees will be donated to the YWCA Girl Power program.
