November 11, 2020 SAVANNAH, GA — Make Savannah and Hostess Provisions teamed up for a Holiday Fair, a free public event featuring the local work of artisans, craftsmen, entrepreneurs and food vendors at The West Broad. Located at 340-356 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., the event took place on Saturday, Nov 14 from 11a-4p., including free and ample parking. During the event, more than 30 local and regional artisans exhibited made-in-Savannah and Southern-made goods, featuring leather, jewelry, original art, woodworking, small-batch skincare, antiques, vintage wear and more.
The organizers collected canned goods and over $300 to donate to America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, Inc. For every 3 canned goods donated, a raffle ticket was provided for a beautiful gift basket of locally made goods, donated by the participating vendors.
The raffle prize: a beautiful assortment of goods from local makers.
“Make Savannah is The Hostess City’s fastest-growing community of creatives, and this is our biggest event of the year,” said Cari Phelps, the creator of Make Savannah. “This year we partnered with Hostess Provisions to create a truly unique experience. Our vendors ranged from gourmet food, to handcrafted products and on-trend antiques.”
Just in time for gift-giving season, the community was invited to shop, meet the makers and enjoy an art installation by local gallery Laney Contemporary. The venue consisted of a large open-air covered warehouse, a large gallery space, and an open courtyard with plenty of ventilation. Masks and social distancing were required within the spaces.
The Grey Market was also on-site with food and Origins offered complimentary coffee.
