High River was giving the Foothills a chance to make their Christmas shopping lists a little shorter today.

The Memorial Centre was filled with over 75 vendors, who brought in their best handmade products, for the annual High River Christmas Craft Fair.

This was the place to be if you were looking for one of a kind gift ideas for the people closest to you this holiday season, or looking for items to decorate your house with Christmas cheer, or even looking for cute mits and toques to keep you warm this winter.

In addition we got the opportunity to give back to people in our community by donating non-perishable food items to the food bank, to ensure that everyone has a merry holiday.

The fair kicked off last night during the Santa Claus Parade, and it continues today until 3pm.
