The Lakeland Mall transformed into a festive haven on November 22 and 23, hosting the much-anticipated Hallway of Handicrafts. The bustling corridor resembled Santa’s workshop, brimming with holiday spirit and countless treasures crafted with love.

Every table was a feast for the eyes, showcasing a dazzling array of handmade goods. Shoppers delighted in baked treats, crocheted stuffies, exquisite chocolates, delicate jewelry, intricate quilting, cozy knits, and even whimsical 3D-printed figurines. If you could imagine it, it was likely there! Adding to the festive atmosphere, Lexi Charbonneau Photography offered mini photo sessions, providing families with the perfect keepsake for the holiday season.

This year’s event also carried a heartwarming charitable spirit. A gift-wrapping station was available by donation, with all proceeds supporting a Vermilion family who tragically lost their home to a fire the week prior.

For those needing a break from shopping, the Eagle’s Nest Grill served up its signature culinary delights, offering a welcome respite to refuel and soak in the festive ambiance.

Despite snowy weather on Saturday, the event remained lively, with steady crowds eager to discover unique, handcrafted treasures. Some vendors even reported selling out of their items, a testament to the community’s enthusiasm and support.

The two-day celebration proved to be more than just a craft fair—it was an opportunity for locals to connect, give back, and find one-of-a-kind gifts for loved ones. The Hallway of Handicrafts truly embodied the spirit of the season, spreading joy and creativity throughout the mall.

Whether you came for the shopping, the photos, or just the warm holiday atmosphere, the event was a resounding success, leaving attendees eagerly awaiting next year’s edition.
