Crafts, Home Tour, Chili, Pancakes, & Self Defense in Pott. Co. this Weekend!

​We’ve got variety, including a craft fair, a home tour, a chili feed, a self-defense class, and pancakes, in Pott. Co. this weekend!  Woo-hoo!

Fall has officially hit and we are in the thick of all things fall-oriented. 

First up, Shelby will be holding their bi-annual craft and vendor fair at the Cardinal Lofts on Saturday from 9 to 3pm.  Not only can you start getting that Christmas shopping done and support local, but by attending, you are helping fund Shelby’s 2020 150th Celebration!  Sounds like that have a huge show for you!

Also, Saturday morning, you have the opportunity to take a women’s self-defense class in Underwood from 9 to 10am for FREE just be sure to call city hall to let them know you’re coming!  Empower yourself!

Of course, the options are unlimited, as Saturday can also be your chance to partake in the Riverside Area Home Tour from 10am to 3pm.  Catch 13 different homes in a self-guided tour that is a fundraiser for Impact Hill in Oakland.  Plus, if you stop at Blossoms in Oakland for your mums, pumpkins, and fall décor or grab a chicken salad lunch at Buck Snort in Oakland, they will also donate part of their take to Impact Hill!  I hear even the superintendent of Riverside has been cleaning away for this big weekend!

No matter what you spend your day doing, all the activities will be over in time for you to head to the Arrowhead Park Chili Fest being held from 4 to 8pm on Saturday.  Come test those taste buds and enjoy the gorgeous views of fall on display while letting the kids get some candy, paint pumpkins, and take a hayrack ride!  Sounds like some warm chili and fall foliage are definitely on tap for Saturday night.

Plus, while you’re close, you can swing by Pumpkin Hill in Neola to get your Halloween on!  Gotta check out the new places Pott. Co. has to offer!

Finally, you can kick your Sunday off with pancakes and sausage at the Shelby Fire & Rescue Open House and Pancake Feed which runs from 7am to 1pm so even you late risers can get your brunch/lunch and support a good cause.

Hit one.  Hit all, but don’t forget that your attendance matters.  Showing up counts! 

Happy Weekend, Everybody!
