The Fancy Smancy Market will change locations in October and November with a Fall Festival on Peoria’s Riverfront Saturday, October 17 and at the Miller Center in Pekin on Saturday, November 14.
This is a fun family day with beautiful fine crafts, great food, education, music and performers. There will be a silent auction with all the proceeds going to the Peoria area food pantry, again on the October date, and to the Miller Center for Senior Programs during November….so come and support your local community.
The last event collected over $700.00 and 400 pounds of food for Peoria area Food Pantry.
Also at the Grand Prairie Mall visit our display at “Simply Everything Boutique” This is another local Artist Collective selling beautiful fine crafts and art made locally. This boutique is really fabulous..don’t miss all the great art at Grand Prairie Mall this summer.
