Santa Claus will make an appearance at the fair on Saturday afternoon. The fair also features live holiday music, free parking and a raffle.
“The craft fair is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season by being a part of helping those less fortunate in our community,” said Cindy Grider, business manager for the NAU Police Department and chair of this year’s United Way committee. “It’s a great event, lots of fun, and you can get your holiday shopping done early.”
Last year’s craft fair entrance and booth fees raised $15,337 for United Way.
Admission is $2 for adults, $1 for students and free for children under 12.
