The event features a large assortment of crafts made by skilled artisans from around the globe that would otherwise be unemployed, or underemployed.

Last year $20,000 worth of items was sold; this year’s goal is $25,000, an amount that would provide income for seven families of four for a full year, including food, clothing, shelter, health, and education.

The sale will be held until 9 p.m. today and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
