The Sprayberry PTSA began a craft show in 1982 in the parking lot of Sprayberry High School.
When the doors open next Saturday to its 40th anniversary, vendors will be spread throughout the school campus.
The show, which is the organization’s only fundraiser of the year, has grown to more than 200 vendors from around the Southeast.
The proceeds benefit a number of school activities and programs, including grants for teachers and financial assistance for students taking standardized tests.
Like many of the other craft shows in the area, the Sprayberry show includes baked goods, concession stands and other food service for shoppers who often make a day out of choosing their holiday gift and other purchases.
The show will take place Saturday, Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
An all-new website for the show developed by the Sprayberry Girls Who Code Club breaks down the vendors by category—ranging from arts and photos to jewelry and clothing—as well as the food items.
In addition to concessions sold by the Sprayberry Lady Jackets basketball team, there will be The Patty Wagon and The Food Truck mobile food services.
And most importantly for the shoppers, a map of all the vendors has been laid out in detail, including a shopper rest area.
There will be a variety of raffles, games and prizes, and “Santa Lane” will include letters to Santa that can be submitted. Photos with Santa are $3 a child.
Admission to the show is free. Sprayberry High School is located at 2525 Sandy Plains Road.
