📢 TALK OF THE TOWN

Wayzata High School Art & Craft Fair: Shop, Support, and Snack (Yes, There Are Treats!)

Swing by Wayzata High School on November 16th, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for the annual Art & Craft Fair, hosted by the WHS PTO.

Admission? Free. Vibes? Immaculate.

Expect a lineup of local vendors (yes, some are students!) selling all the handmade goodies you never knew you needed. From unique gifts to festive finds, there’s a little something for everyone—whether you're on a mission to shop for friends, family, or maybe just yourself (they won’t tell).

Bonus points: Every dollar you spend supports scholarships for seniors and essential school initiatives.

If you get hungry, there’s a bake sale, a school store, and, of course, concessions to keep you fueled. Come for the crafts, stay for the community!
