…pillows and blankets…
…colorful crocheted pumpkins and knitted critters…
…a variety of clothing options…
…3D printed ducks…
…and plenty of crafts…
…celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas as well.
Plus, there was a Tarot card reader…
…caricatures and face painting…
…and ways for kids to try out a new instrument.
There was also plenty of food, from chicken and rice…
…to chicken and noodles…
…and various potato dishes, including potato sundaes, potato soup…
…gourmet potato bowls…
