The Gathering Place at Harvest Lane: Talent! Talent! Talent!

The Holiday Craft Show December 2010

The day started out really early. I was up at 1:30 am and Laura was up at 5:00 am. I was out early to get my route done and get back by 6:00 am to let vendors in to set up. Laura was busy making cinnamon rolls.

And homemade cocoa. MMMM!

We had a great time Saturday. All the time and effort came to fruition and we had some of the best talent the Ozarks has to offer. Not only did we have great crafts to choose from but we made some new friends.

Let's just take a tour!
