FFFF

On Fridays, I like to post some fun and frugal Eastern Iowa family adventure ideas for the upcoming weekend.

What a Load of Craft! on Saturday, December 11 from 11 am to 7 pm at the Johnson County Fairgrounds (4261 Oak Crest Hill Road SE in Iowa City directly off Riverside Dr. aka Old Hwy 218).
What a Load of Craft! is a DIY arts, crafts, and music event in Iowa City, Iowa. What A Load of Craft! consists of a DIY (do-it-yourself) craft fair with local crafsters and artists selling their handmade goods, live music performances by local and regional musicians, and a Craft Death Match.
Alternative Gift Market at Trinity Episcopal Church in Iowa City on Saturday, December 11 from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday, December 12 from 9 am to 1 pm.
Join us for some meaningful Christmas shopping. Make gift donations in honor of family and friends or buy gifts from our fair-trade vendors. Sales and donations benefit local, national, and international causes.
30th Annual Aisle of Lights Weekend in Coralville. Full details of all the weekends activities can be viewed here. Special note: The Iowa Children's Museum will have free admission on Sunday and will feature Festivals of Lights celebrations from around the world with storytelling and traditional crafts from other countries.
Coralville's 30th annual Aisle of Lights weekend includes free events throughout Coralville on December 11 and 12, and miles luminarias available for viewing beginning at 5:00 pm on Sunday evening, December 12.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Great events! That "load of craft" fair sounds awesome-are you going to attend?
I miss the Midwest cold, really I do-recently it's been around fifty degrees here with rain every day.
As crazy as it sounds, I think I would prefer the cold and the snow, but hey its green pretty much year around here (:
love ya!
