NEW IBERIA, La. --- The Shadows-on-the-Teche Fall Arts and Crafts Fair will take place in the Shadows gardens on Sat., October 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Vendors from around Louisiana will display and sell their original work. A variety of hand-crafted products will be available for sale, and just in time for attendees to start their holiday shopping.
Original art and woodwork, handmade jewelry, and candles make for perfect gifts for friends and family. Children’s clothing, bows and headbands, and dolls are great stocking stuffers for little ones of all ages. Homemade preserves, jellies, salsa, and oils are just the thing for those who have everything else. Food and dessert vendors will offer tempting choices.
"Come enjoy the day with your family and friends while supporting local artists, craftsmen, and Shadows-on-the-Teche," said Jayd Buteaux, marketing and programs manager at Shadows-on-the-Teche.
Admission to the fair is $5 per person (12 and older) and $3 for children (ages 6-11).
