‘Treasure trove’ of Crafts: HVES ‘Market’ Nov. 9

For the 10th year, Hardin Valley Elementary School will host its annual Holiday Craft Market from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday Nov. 9, at the school, 11445 Hardin Valley Road.

“Embrace the season’s spirit and discover a treasure trove of unique crafts, delightful treats and festive joy,” a press release stated.

Jessica Turnbill, hospitality committee chair, said vendors will provide crochet, clay jewelry, permanent jewelry, scentsy, T-shirts and other different handmade gifts.

“The event is free for the community, and the vendors pay for their spot, so I want them to also make a profit,” Turnbill said. “The more we raise, the more we can do for our staff and to thank our parent volunteers.”

Turnbill explained the hospitality committee is in charge of contributing money for staff baby showers, wedding showers and retirement parties.

“We celebrate staff birthdays with a card, get gifts for death in family or illness and also schedule a staff holiday party and something for our parent volunteers,” she said. “This is the only fundraiser we do, so the more vendors and community traffic the better.”
