Merrill’s Craft & Vendor Extravaganza is this weekend

On Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, Merrill will host vendors and crafters from around the area and beyond at craft shows around the city at Merrill’s Citywide Craft & Vendor Extravaganza. “We have 10 locations this year,” said Laura Bares, who helps organize the event. The locations will include area schools and churches, businesses, and non-profit organizations, each with their own specific hours, and some locations have extended their hours to include Friday.
The annual event draws crowds from Merrill and beyond, to the benefit of the entire community, and is the perfect place to kick off Christmas shopping to find and purchase special handcrafted gifts and to discover unique items to decorate for the holidays. Grab a coffee and something sweet at one of the area coffee shops before shopping, pit stop at a local restaurant for lunch in between locations, and enjoy a day of exploration and shopping in Merrill.
