A huge thank you to all the vendors, volunteers, and shoppers who came out to support the RCA and our local makers at this year’s Annual Winter Craft Market. We were thrilled to host such a talented group of creatives — including several youth entrepreneurs who brought incredible energy and fresh ideas to the event.
“I was delighted to do some Christmas shopping for those hard to buy folks,” said one shopper. “I took home delicious homemade soup made by a chef entrepreneur, delicious home-made fudge, shower infusers, and candles all made with eco-friendly products that smelled divine. And the piece de resistance was the young lads selling the cutest Christmas decorations they had made on their 3D printers. It was impressive!”
In fact, all vendors were impressive! Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $250 for the Ranchlands Food Pantry Hamper Program and collected more than 130 lbs of non-perishable food. We also welcomed over 400 shoppers through the doors, making it one of our busiest markets yet.
A special shout-out to the volunteers who kept the concession and front table running smoothly. Events like this simply wouldn’t happen without your time, enthusiasm, and commitment to our community.
Applications for the 2026 Craft Market will open in August, and we can’t wait to welcome another fantastic group of makers next year!
