20th Annual Eureka Arts & Crafts Show This Saturday
Over 100 Vendors To Help Celebrate The Anniversary
This Saturday, Nov. 9, will mark 20 years since two friends who loved to make crafts created a non-profit event to showcase local crafters. Now a family affair, Charlene Baker, with the help of family and friends, will hold the 20th annual Eureka Arts & Crafts Show. The event will feature over 100 vendors and will be held at the Eureka Downs Concourse Building. “It is truly a family event. My daughters, nieces and mom look forward to getting together every year to help vendors find their spots,” stated Baker. “I pride my show on being personalized where I get to know each vendor,” she continued. Baker further shared that she tries to go around and visit with each vendor during the annual event.
“It is a major reward for the show to be celebrating 20 years of great memories that my family has helped put in their hard work too and many people are appreciative of it,” stated Baker. Although it is an all-year process, Baker sees the rewards the day of the show as other families and friends gather to have a fun day at the craft show.
