The 44th Annual Seal Beach Lions Arts & Crafts Faire as in years past, spotlights the Youth of our community.

Organizers say it will be held Sept.  10-11 at Eisenhower Park in Seal Beach.

The junior members of the Seal Beach Lions Club, the LEOS, use this venue as their big fundraiser of the year.  They will be grilling Hot Dogs and Brats and selling lunch items and drinks to the crowds and vendors alike.

They also walk the Faire and take lunch orders from the vendors and deliver lunches back to the booths, keeping the vendors and merchants free to “stay and sell”.

Part of the LEOS support for the Faire is helping the vendors to unload their merchandise on Saturday morning, and helping again on Sunday afternoon to see that the vendors get packed up and to their vehicles.

There will also be a Craft Area for the youngsters who accompany their parents to the event.  Crafting will take place from 10:00 a.m. to approximate 3 or so both days.  There will be “Kindness Rocks” painting, Crown making and fun with Butterfly creations.

The weekend’s entertainment, for both days, will be provided by young musicians from our local schools.  Featured will be 7th and 8th grade students from Oak Middle School and St. Hedwig’s, along with Duos and Bands from Los Alamitos High School, the McAuliffe Choir and many more.

We encourage you to come out and support these young performers and their music.  They are always a big hit with Faire attendees.

Again, you are invited to come to Eisenhower Park for a weekend packed with shopping, food and music.  Over 100 artists and merchants bring their crafts and goods to our beautiful city, making for a “fun-in-the-sun” time.
