IRON MOUNTAIN — On hold since 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, The Daily News’ annual Spring Craft Show is set to return Saturday.
“We are back and we are sold out! After two years of cancelled Spring Craft Shows, I am so excited for this show on Saturday,” said Jennifer Flynn, circulation manager for The Daily News and organizer of the event.
The show is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Kingsford Middle School, 445 Hamilton Ave. in Kingsford.
It will feature 65 booths with vendors, crafters and businesses — home-based and otherwise — from throughout the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin, Flynn said.
“This is a great opportunity for crafters, vendors, and home business owners to show off their products and get into the ‘spring is coming’ mode,” she said.
More than 55 vendors will be on hand with items ranging from handmade jewelry to blankets to repurposed furniture to baked goods.
The craft show provides money for Newspapers In Education, a non-profit program supported solely through fundraising events, local business sponsors and generous subscribers.
Newspapers In Education provides teachers and educators at area schools with the newspapers and other resources.
The spring event is a slightly smaller version of The Daily News’ Holiday Craft Show, which this year will be Saturday, Nov. 5.
Admission is free. The Kingsford Music Booster Club once again will run the concession stand.
A layout and listing of vendors set to have booths at the show can be viewed on page 7-A.
