Annual Holly Days Arts and Crafts Show Saturday

Get ready to shop, eat and be merry when the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation (1302 Adams St.) holds its 12th annual Holly Days Arts and Crafts Show, Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“This is a great start to the holiday season for anyone, and we do it every year,” said SCHF Director Stacey Massey. “We’ll have different churches singing, dance groups performing and much more.”

Admission is $2 and folks will be able to see several performers and enjoy the company of other art lovers, as well. Live entertainment will include the Church of the Holy Trinity Conservatory of Fine Arts, Jeanne Evans Music Students, Denise Ragsdale Music Students, Debra Franco Preparatory School of Dance, St. Aloysius Show Choir and Elite 6 Band.

There will also be an army of vendors, including Billy’s Italian Restaurant.

“There are some very special vendors coming out this year, and a lot of them are from Mississippi, but one is from Arkansas,” Massey said. “They’ll be selling everything from art pieces to jewelry, and we’ll even have Billy’s selling lunch plates. We’ll also be selling baked goods.”

“People just keep coming,” she said. “This is a great event for a great cause, and I hope we continue to grow each year.”
