The indoor fair will feature repurposed furniture, antiques, jewelry, vintage gifts, rustic décor and much more!

"We are so pleased with the variety of booths we have secured for our first Harvest of Love Craft Fair," said event chairwoman Melody Wilson. "Folks will see lots of quality, handmade items. We are particularly excited about the handmade crafts from Nicaragua. In addition to a nice variety of booths, we will also have mums and pumpkins for sale, as well as concessions. We encourage the community to come out and make a day of it. We have plenty of parking, and since this is an indoor fair, it will happen rain or shine! The best part is that all proceeds support missions and ministries."

Event coordinators hope to make the Harvest of Love Craft Fair an annual event. For more information, call the church at 417-451-2375.
