Those crafty Sun Lakers are at it again. The Sun Lakes Arts and Crafts Association annual Spring Show will be held on Saturday, March 21, with over 60 vendors showcasing their unique handmade crafts and artwork. The show will take place at the Oakwood Country Club (24218 S. Oakwood Blvd.) from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. Craft shows are a great place to find unique gifts while at the same time support local artists and purchase American-make items.
