Get an Artful Gift at a Craft Fair

Looking for a special something? Buying handmade items from area artists supports the local economy. At the Willits Craft Fair and the Holiday, Small Works Show shoppers can find everything from pottery, jewelry, and wind chimes to herbal salves, dog treats, and beeswax food wraps. Peruse these wares at the craft fair’s two Willits locations: the Community Center and the Willits Center for the Arts (WCA). On December 10, the show will be open noon–7 p.m. at the Community Center and noon–9 p.m. at the WCA; on December 11 the hours will be 10 a.m.–4 p.m. at both venues.
