In addition to highlighting vendors’ talents and supporting a nonprofit organization every year, the craft fair serves as an opportunity for members of the Anchor Club to showcase the volunteer work they do year-round. “We have a large group of around 90 kids, and some of them are active in Anchor Club members from freshman to senior year,” said Settle. “These kids have stepped up and done a lot for the community.” For more information, visit https://tinyurl.com/ anchorcraftfair.
