Holly and Ivy
Please click here to access 2010 Craft Show Information
The Holly and the Ivy craft village is a PTF sponsored event which is always held on the first Saturday in November. This unique fund raiser is an up-scaled craft show, featuring over 35 of the area's talented crafters. The craft show is "juried" which means that all crafters must submit photos of their work, proving authenticity. The Holly and the Ivy committee ensure only a limited number of similar crafts are displayed and tries to admit only top quality crafts. Each crafter is charged a nominal fee for their space for the day. Whatever sales they make they keep the profits. LCA makes money on their rent of space, but mostly on the homemade food that is made by parents and grandparents of LCA students and sold during the show. The show opens at 7:30 am enticing customers with the smell of sticky-buns, egg casserole and coffee for breakfast. Then lunch is served - a fare of beef barbecue, shredded turkey sandwiches, hot soups, and, of course, hot dogs for the picky eaters! Scrupulous homemade baked goods are available until "sold out" throughout the day, including pies, cookies and brownies. Where LCA is really different is in the Sparkleberry Childrens' area. This is a kid-friendly place where elementary-aged kids can make crafts, get their faces painted, and shop for their family members for the upcoming holidays in the Little Shopper's Shoppe. Gift wrapping is complimentary! There are also inspiring craft demonstrations in various rooms.
