BFR craft and home business expo Sept. 27
BFR Sports and Fitness will host a one-day show of craft vendors and home business consultants from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, September 27, as a part of Bluffton's Fall Festival Day. There is a $1 admission fee, which will help to offset BFR's operations costs.
The Craft and Home Business Expo will feature over 30 booths offering holiday gifts and specialty items. Craft vendors will sell quilts, handmade furniture, glassware, patchwork animals, crocheted items, fair trade jewelry, and floral arrangements. National home-based businesses that will be featured include: Advocare, Damsel in Defense, It Works, Jamberry Nails, Jewelry in Candles, Lia Sophia, Origami Owl, Pampered Chef, Paparazzi, Perfectly Posh, Pink Zebra, Scentsy, Tastefully Simple, Tealightful, Thirty-One, Usborne Books, Younique. Ellen Gillifillen, of Bluffton, will offer massages. Vendors will provide free demonstrations throughout the day.
BFR will hold a silent auction featuring donated items, as well. All proceeds from the Expo will be used for capital improvements and operations of BFR, a non-profit organization offering sports and fitness programming. For more information about the Craft and Home Business Expo, contact Carole Enneking, director of BFR Sports and Fitness, 419-358-4150.
