“It gets bigger every year,” Kathy Wencl said. “We have more vendors this year than ever before.”

Crafts for the home and home exterior, Halloween and Fall decorations, Christmas trimmings, too.

Hand-made quilts and new this year, pheasant feathered swags.

Candles and, of course, pumpkins, gourds and squashes.

“We have so many vendors with so many wonderful things,” Wencl said.

Lunch will be served on the grounds.

Vendors from Wisconsin and Iowa as well as Minnesota will have their handiwork on display in time for the year-ending holidays.
