The countdown to the holidays is on and one sure sign that it is near is the start of holiday shopping.
The Holiday Craft and Gift festival is underway this weekend at the Bayfront Convention Center.
This is one of the largest gift festivals in the area with over 160 local vendors.
There was so much interest this year that there was a waiting list for vendors.
Over the course of two days, people can shop for unique gifts from home decorations to beauty items, toys, and clothing.
In addition to the shopping, people can enjoy wine and food sampling and an appearance from Santa.
The festival continues Sunday from 11-4. Adults at $6 and kids ten and under are free.
If people brings a toy for Toys
for Tots, they get a $2 discount.
