Get Crafty

Start your holiday shopping at Craftin' Outlaws, an alternative craft fair on Saturday, Nov. 17. At the eighth annual event, Midwest crafters will gather at the Gateway Film Center from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There, you'll find more than 50 vendors selling handmade items like jewelry, clothing and art. Admission to Craftin' Outlaws is free, but if you are eager to get a head start, early bird passes are available for $5 and allow shoppers in at 10 a.m. For more information about the fair, visit CraftinOutlaws.com. –Heather Weekley, @heather_weekley
