FORT BRAGG, CA., 8/28/26 — A favorite Paul Bunyan Days event is the two-day crafts fair sponsored by the two local Soroptimist clubs. This is what’s known as an artisan fair, as everything is handcrafted. Other fairs may offer items that are mass-produced or made overseas, but not this one.
Annually, there are as many as 80 booths, selling all sorts of handmade items, including: jewelry, clothing, art, handbags, quilted items, leather and wooden items, plants and bulbs, stained-glass, pottery, kids’ clothes and toys, ironwork, home goods, herbal products, soaps, rugs and wood carvings. There are also massage and food vendors and many other fascinating artist crafts for you to explore.
The money earned from booth fees goes to support Soroptimist projects to assist women and girls, including college scholarships, breast exams, safe harbor sources, as well as adult and youth projects that serve our communities both locally and globally.
The crafts fair is Saturday, Sept. 5 and Sunday, Sept. 6, at the CV Starr Community Center, 300 S. Lincoln St., Fort Bragg, Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information about grants and scholarships, see www.si-noyosunrise.org.
