Harvest Festival<br />
Original Art &<br />
Craft Show<br />
KICKS OFF THE HOLIDAYS AT<br />
THE FAIRPLEX IN POMONA<br />
Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like a trip to the Pomona Harvest<br />
Festival Original Art & Craft Show at the Fairplex, Dec. 4-6, where more<br />
than 300 exhibitors ring in the season with dazzling, handcrafted items for<br />
everyone on your shopping list. Aglow in holiday décor, the Fairplex becomes a<br />
winter wonderland for the holiday “shop fest” of the season, complete with live<br />
entertainment, contests, strolling performers, a Kidzone, and more.<br />
Bring on the holiday bliss with the stress-free shopping selection of 24,000<br />
handmade originals ranging from stunning jewelry, photography, clothing and<br />
accessories, to glass, woodwork, ceramics, ornaments, specialty foods, furniture,<br />
and much more, all at unbeatable prices. Patrons who bring non-perishables for<br />
donation to the Foothill Family Shelter will receive $2 off admission. Tickets are<br />
good for the entire weekend.<br />
Local Corona artists are among the hundreds showcasing their creations.<br />
Cheryl Bechtold of “Pillow Picasso” specializes in custom-made bedding. Her<br />
hand painted holiday pillow covers and table runners are a blend of fabrics and<br />
textures, each one a unique masterpiece. “I especially enjoy visiting with the<br />
Festival patrons,” says Bechtold. “Sometimes they even send me pictures of how<br />
my pieces look in their homes.” Katie Knight of “Unique Bottle Candles” gets<br />
creative with repurposed bottles, hand cut bottles and wind chimes.<br />
The celebration includes a creative oasis for the young at heart where Macaroni<br />
Kid presents free interactive “make ‘n’ take” crafts and Home Depot of<br />
Chino hosts personalized instruction and assembly of pint-sized toolboxes kids<br />
can keep as a free memento. Parents will also appreciate the free digital fingerprint<br />
Child ID services courtesy of New York Life. Priceless Pets will have a host of four<br />
legged friends available outside for adoption.<br />
Stage <strong>Entertainment</strong><br />
Captivating audiences with dynamic renditions of music<br />
for all ages, “HyJinx” takes to the main stage with a range<br />
of melodies from R&B to swing, Motown, classic rock<br />
and current hits. Captain Jack Spareribs (a spoof to the notorious<br />
Pirates of the Caribbean films) performs his zany pirate<br />
show that blends comedy with magic, juggling, and illusions.<br />
Strolling performers “Stilt Santa” and “Mama Claus & Eddie<br />
the Elf” add to the holiday cheer.<br />
