The ninth annual Mountain Campus Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair crowded the du Bois Center on Nov. 20 and 21. While enjoying the live music, patrons had the opportunity to peruse the displayed works, which included jewelry made of turquoise and blown glass, photography, soaps and candles.

Some booths even offered a “make and take” opportunity for jewelry making. Artist Ron Lepore and his wife, Bonnie, have been participating in the fair for half a decade. Lepore’s booth consisted of melted bottles turned into cheese or serving plates. Proceeds from booth rentals and admissions were donated to The United Way of Northern Arizona. Last year, a donation total of $15,337 was raised for The United Way.
