The 11th Annual Home for the Holidays Arts and Crafts Festival slated for Nov. 12-13 at the Mallet Event Center Expo Hall in Levelland promises to be a bonanza for holiday shoppers looking for unique gift items for family and friends.
Hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Levelland, more than 45 vendors are expected to participate in the festival, offering a wide variety of gift ideas for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.
“We continue to have new vendors join us for the festival,” said Rick Osburn, festival coordinator. “We believe there will be something for everyone.”
Vendors will be offering quality arts and crafts, jewelry, home accents, decorative arts, seasonal food products, seasonal decorations, cosmetics, clothing, vintage treasures and much more.
The festival will be open from 1-8 p.m. Friday Nov. 12 where shoppers can “sip and shop” with local winery vendors from 5-8 p.m.
Shopping continues 9 a.m - 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13. Special arrangements have been made for Santa Claus to be on hand to greet children and take their Christmas wish list.
Admission is $3 for adults. Children 12 years and younger are free. There will be drawings for door prizes during the festival.
Festival planners are also making arrangements for food truck vendors to provide a variety of food during the festival.
Applications for booth space are still being accepted, Osburn said, and are available online at www.levellandrotary.com. Vendors should contact Osburn at (806) 470-7801 or email levellandcm@yahoo.com.
