23rd Annual Panther Creek Fall Arts & Crafts Fair

The event you have been waiting for is almost here!  The 23rd Annual Panther Creek Fall Art & Craft Fair will be Saturday, November 1, 2008.  The whole day will provide shoppers with the opportunity to meander through over 110 booth spaces filled with the highest quality crafts from all over Texas.  The Art & Craft Fair will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., rain or shine in the Panther Creek Shopping Center.

            Shopping for the holidays or for home accessories is an absolute delight in The Heart of The Woodlands.  The crafters are the friendliest and await the arrival of this show.  They enjoy sharing their creations and newest innovations with interested shoppers.  Last year the weather was perfect, and the crafters and shoppers enjoyed the day making new and renewing old acquaintances.  Plan to come and purchase another piece from your favorite crafter/artist or find that piece that your neighbor bought last year and you couldn’t wait to get this year!  Don’t forget that you will be able to do your holiday shopping for gifts and decorations while you are here.

            This year many of the crafters from past shows will return and several new crafters will show their wares.  Earl Warner will be returning with his collectable 2008 addition of his Olde World St. Nicks.  Patricia Liles will have her beautiful, artistic and unique hand made jewelry.  New to our event, will be Barker Street Gourmet Dog Bakery and Boutique with their hand-made gourmet dog treats.  And to help get everyone in the spirit of the season, The Woodlands High School Orchestra will be performing holiday music.  There is sure to be something for everyone!

            So mark your calendars and do not miss out on the largest show held in South Montgomery County.  Allow plenty of time to enjoy all of the booths spread throughout the entire shopping center.  The Panther Creek Merchants’ Association sponsors this event and proceeds from this event go back to the community in the form of scholarships and donations to local charities.  There is no admission price and parking is free.
