IRON MOUNTAIN — The Daily News Spring Craft Show will again help usher in the change in seasons in the region.
This annual show is set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Kingsford Middle School, 445 Hamilton Ave. in Kingsford.
The show will feature 80 booths with vendors, crafters and businesses, home-based and otherwise, from throughout the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin, said Jennifer Flynn, Daily News regional circulation manager/Newspapers in Education coordinator.
A complete listing of vendors is on page 8-A.
“This is a great opportunity for crafters, vendors and home business owners to show off their products and get into the ‘spring is coming,’ mode,” Flynn said.
More than 70 vendors will be on hand with items ranging from handmade jewelry to blankets, Easter treats and basket stuffers, baked goods, metal and wood art. Girl Scout cookies once again will be available for purchase.
Informational booths will be set up as well for Kingsford Krush Roller Derby, OSF Hospice and Catholic Social Services-Foster Care.
“Our spring show has now grown to the size of our Big Holiday Craft Show,” Flynn said, adding this year’s holiday show will be Saturday, Nov. 1.
Admission to the Spring Craft Show is free.
As in past years, the Kingsford Music Booster Club will have a concession stand with its hot turkey sandwiches and beefy nachos on the menu.
The Daily News Spring Craft Show raises money for Newspapers in Education, a non-profit program supported solely through fundraising events, local business sponsors and generous subscribers. NIE provides teachers and educators at area schools with the newspapers and other resources.
