Joy’s Annual Arts & Crafts Show is BACK, and this year, we’re not just knitting scarves and molding pottery; we are crafting JOY for a cause close to our hearts! Join us on Saturday, October 26th, 2024 from 9am-3pm at the Senior Recreation Center for a day filled with arts, crafts, treats, prizes and patriotism all under one roof.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• One-of-a-kind handcrafted treasures
• Delicious Girl Scout bake sale treats
• Wagging tails from Southeastern Guide Dogs
• Raffles that’ll make you jump with joy

We’re seeking vendors to join our event, but spaces are filling quickly! If you know anyone passionate about creating homemade art or crafts, we invite them to come and showcase their talent as a vendor. For just $40, vendors receive a reserved space, a 6′ table, and two chairs. Please help us spread the word and encourage interested individuals to submit their applications promptly, as availability is limited. 100% of vendor fees will be donated to ElderCare of Alachua County, making a real difference for older adults in need! If you are interested in vending, it is $40 per booth.

NEW this year: Sponsorship Opportunities! We offer three levels of sponsorship to accommodate varying levels of support.

Join us at the Joy’s Arts & Crafts Show to honor the Veterans in your life. We are running a special initiative where we will fill the Senior Recreation Center walls with red, white, and blue stars, each dedicated to a Veteran Hero. These stars will be on display for the entire month of November.
