LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Craft Guild Showcase has made its way back to Little Rock, and they’re celebrating their 47th year as an organization.
It’s an event where over 50 different local vendors come together to sell their items at a very low price, and what makes the event so unique is that every item sold is handcrafted and homemade by the vendors.

Aaron Gschwandegger is the main organizer of the event. He says this year they’ll be hosting 64 vendors.
“Each vendor is selling something different, and most of these items you can’t find in stores. What’s significant about our event is every person you’re buying from is the person who actually created the item,” Gschwandegger said. “So, it’s all handcrafted. So many original, great gifts. We have price ranges from our vendors, I mean, from under $10 all the way to hundreds and hundreds of dollars. So, any kind of gift you can imagine.”
