## About

The Best Little Arts and Crafts Show fills the Roger T. Sermon Community Center for a two-day holiday shopping weekend of handmade gifts. Dozens of local vendors set out artisan work and seasonal items. Families browse and buy rather than sit for a class.

The show is tagged as a holiday shopping event on the Independence parks calendar. Children can walk the floor with an adult. There is no printed age limit and no ticket link.
