The season’s craft sales have started in Elora. Craft sales are always fun, because you can’t predict what you will find. There are often some unique items available – all made by loving hands of locals. It doesn’t matter who is on your Christmas list, or how difficult they are to choose for. Craft vendors have an incredible variety of practical and whimsical items. While most are thinking of Fall activities, the savvy shoppers are preparing and filling out their Christmas lists.
Often these sales have vendors who sell only at Christmas-time. You will also meet small business owners with budgets too small for advertising. Shopping craft sales can be a very social and fun event. You will also be supporting a few very small businesses and local talent.
