31th Annual Santa's North Pole Village Craft Show
Saturday, November 3, 2011.     Hours: 9am-4pm
Admission: $5.  Shuttle bus available.
Three locations: Northview  Middle School, Prairie Ridge Middle School and Parkview Middle School.

This is one of the most popular craft shows in Iowa and features hand-crafted items such as jewelry, furniture, clothing and holiday decor.  Local organizations provide meals and drinks and the shuttle will take you from location to location all day for only a dollar. There are about 300 crafters and vendors in attendance at this event, from fine art crafters to jewelry, candle makers and more.  The cafeteria opens at 8 am and there is an array of food vendors throughout the event as well.

Santa’s North Pole Village Craft Sale is the Ankeny Art Center’s biggest fundraiser of the year. This event began several decades ago as a means to raise operational funds for the Ankeny Art Center as well as financial support for dozens of other local nonprofit groups.
