Friday November 12th from noon – 7pm and Saturday the 4th from 9am – 4 pm the 10,000 Villages Fair Trade Festival is at First Lutheran Church, located on the corner of Sunnyside and Rollandet in Idaho Falls. This annual event is an opportunity for the Eastern Idaho Community to view and purchase hand-made art and craft items. All proceeds go to help build world-wide fair trade. It is a wonderful opportunity to join in mission to support other countries that do not currently have the same opportunities as we do in our country.
