Treat your mother to annual craft sale


What better way to treat your mother than an annual craft sale that includes plenty of handmade treasures, direct-sale items and delicious food.

The fifth annual Treat Your Mother Craft & Vendor Fair is slated for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. May 13 at the Jefferson City Jaycees Cole County Fairgrounds, 1445 Fairgrounds Road.

"We started this to help local businesses, but also most importantly, to bring awareness to local nonprofits to the Mid-Missouri area so all of the events that we do will benefit a local nonprofit in some way," said Reesa Sellnow, lead organizer of the event.

This event will benefit Ava's Avengers, the sister foundation to Super Sam Foundation out of Fulton.

The event will include more than 75 vendors, plus food trucks that will include Miracle Whip, Cajun Catfish House and Red Barn Butchering.

"I think a lot of people just enjoy coming out and spoiling mom, but most importantly bringing awareness and supporting Ava's Avengers," Sellnow said.
