A sample of items that will be sold at Christmas At The Empress.
A group of local craftsmen/women will be downtown during Fort Scott’s Christmas Parade on Dec. 4 to sell their wares.
“We were told by multiple people that the Stocking Stuffer had been canceled and that they relied on it for last minute shopping,” Julie Norris, a vendor, said. “Vendors really enjoyed it as well. We had the idea of running something while the parade was downtown so we would have traffic already there for the vendors.”
Christmas candies will be for sale at the event.
The vendors will set up shop at The Empress Event Center, 7 N Main, across the street from Papa Don’s Restaurant.
The parade is at 6 p.m. on December 4. The vendors will be open from 5-8 p.m.
“We have several local vendors that will be present. The list that we currently have confirmed: Nikki Carpenter with Chalk Couture, Hannah Gander with Mama’s Mugs , Dee Regina with Paparazzi Jewelry , Elise Herman with Usborne Books, Julie Norris & Chris Ames with ColorStreet, Amber Kelly with Tupperware, Angela Carpenter with Homemade Holiday Crafts, Alison Milburn with Bows by Ali Rose, Micki Craft with Home Sewn Crafts, Kelly Gander with Kelly’s Creations ,our children-Kallie and Bryton will be selling treats and hot apple cider, Jackie Harvey with Jackie’s Leather Earrings. And Jeff Tinsley will have his homemade pecan and peanut brittles,” she said.
Jewelry will be offered for sale at the event.
“We are hoping to provide a nice variety of shopping for the community with our local vendors in one stop,” Norris said.
“Some items will include handmade Christmas decor, wreaths, reusable chalk decor, tumblers, personalized vinyl, kitchen towels, aprons, security blankets, cosmetic bags, Christmas candies, hair accessories, jewelry, children’s books, affordable manicures, cosmetics, acrylic keychains, and more,” she said.
