East El Paso Church To Hold Holiday Craft Show

It's never too early to shop for Christmas. I know that this is Halloween weekend but I love a good craft fair. Saturday, October 30, you can check out a classic church craft festival at St. Paul's United Methodist Church. The church is located just east of Airway and Edgemere at 7000 Edgemere and the festival will be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

TONS OF FUN AND SHOPPING
This craft festival is one of the ones that kicks off the holiday season in the Cielo Vista area. It's always held right before Halloween but that is kind of what makes it so cool. You get to do some Christmas shopping with local vendors and the kids can wear their costumes and go trick-or-treating among the different vendor booths.

OF COURSE THERE'S FOOD
Along with the handmade, local crafts, you can also get some amazing baked goods and there will also be food trucks on hand for you to feed your face. The best thing about craft fairs like this is you are giving the local vendors your business, but it also has a really a totally sweet, Hallmark Christmas Movie look to the whole thing. Nice ladies selling you fun crafts and local food trucks? Yes, please!

OTHER STUFF TO DO
There will also be live entertainment and games for the kiddos to play while you knock some items off your Christmas list. It's just a really fun thing to do on a Saturday in the fall. I love to showcase local events like this so if you have one coming up or know of one, make sure you email me at tricia@ksii.com.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
