BELLE — The Belle PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) hosted a Craft & Vendor Show on Saturday in the Belle High School gymnasium, drawing steady crowds to browse handmade goods, holiday décor and one-of-a-kind creations from local artisans.

The Nov. 15 event offered families a chance to ease into the holiday shopping season while supporting the volunteer parent-teacher organization that supports the school district.

Vendors lined the space with everything from goat milk soap and handmade quilts to custom wood signs, leather crafts, 3D-printed items, farm-stand goods and jewelry. Shoppers could also find holiday ornaments, collectibles, key chains, crochet work and other giftable pieces.

Food was also part of the draw, with hotdogs, tacos, snacks, and drinks available for purchase throughout the day. Many attendees paused their shopping to enjoy a quick bite before returning to the booths. Vendors reported strong interest in seasonal items as residents looked for both gifts and personal treats.

A special Kids Corner added to the family-friendly atmosphere. Responsible high school students volunteered their time to help younger children with crafts and coloring activities, giving parents time to shop at their own pace.
