Jackalope Arts Fair
This is a totally new art fair that I am pumped to check out! Over 200 local artisans, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts will be bringing their locally handcrafted goods to the community over two days! They have two other locations in Denver and Phoenix, so my readers from those cities will be able to find the quality artisans that have been curated by the talented founders of Jackalope Arts. Nice!
I found some of my amazing Shop Small Saturday Showcase features on their vendor list, so I will definitely be catching up with Clay & Fabric, Foxboxes, Hallo Jak, Kheel's, Squshies, TeaDrops, Wood Brain, and Zazu Faure. Then, I will be sure to find some fresh new shops for future features to share with you all! So excited!

********************
As I was writing this, I realized that I said just about every craft show is my favorite and that every food event has to be on your calendar. But you know what... it's true! Definitely, let me know if you're going to any of these, and if there is something else that should be on my calendar (because it's sooo empty). ;)
Which events do you plan on heading to this spring and summer?
