Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner. At least, that’s what you’ll discover at the annual Trims & Whims craft fair this weekend.

“We always have our event the same weekend when Wakefield-Scearce Gallery holds its Christmas open house,” says Joanna Freels, co-chair of the event for Alpha Delta Kappa sorority, its sponsor.

With Shelbyville’s Celebration of Lights happening on Saturday, as well, there will be no shortage of holiday cheer (and shopping) for those who can’t wait for Christmas!
