From 10-4 each day there will be vendors, food trucks and tons of activities for the kids to enjoy. There will be over 200 small businesses and entrepreneurs on hand during the event.  

I mentioned there will be food trucks set up, so you don’t have to worry about finding sustenance after you’ve shopped for a while. There will even be a full-service bar on site as well.  

For the kids there will be a petting zoo, pony rides, barrel ride and live music. These attractions are free. There will be bounce houses set up as well but there will be a small fee for those. Your kids can even get their face painted and have their picture made with a Ghostbusters character.  

For those interested in the arts and crafts sale, this will be an awesome opportunity to see many creators in one spot. You’ll be able to find vintage and handmade items that you’re likely not to find anywhere else.  

It’s probably not too early to start thinking about shopping for Christmas, right? Every year the challenge is finding that special gift for someone on your list, this could be the perfect opportunity to check a few names off your list and support local folks in the process.  

The admission price is just $5 for those over 13, three bucks for kids 6-12, and 5 and under get in free. Another awesome feature about this event is that parking is free.  

Put this on your calendar for next weekend and make time to support Central Minnesota Creators at the Mille Lacs County Fairgrounds. This event is presented by Powerful Zen Massage and Blue Ribbon Events Mn.
