MOULTRIE — Excitement is building for the Calico Holiday Arts and Crafts Show, which will return to Moultrie Nov. 14 and 15.

More than 400 booths will offer a treasure trove of custom gifts, seasonal décor and holiday confections.

The rich diversity of Southern heritage abounds in the crafts of returning favorites and re-invents itself in exclusive new offerings from the region. Imagine surprising that special someone with a gift of limited edition jewelry made from vintage “ephemera” by Betsy Carr of Asheville, N.C. Or treat yourself to an exceptional piece of hammered silver or pottery cabochon by Hollywood, S.C., artisan, Caroline Sandlin, current president of the Charleston Crafts Guild. Delight in the whimsy of “floral angels,” with each angel featuring a favorite flower and its own unique tag and story, designed by Chery Miller of Dollightful in Collierville, Tenn. The timeless art of hand-thrown, kiln-fired pottery from the red clay hills of Louisville, Miss., comes to life at the hands of Frank Stewart as he continues a family tradition dating from 1888. His custom collectibles combine both form and function in a beautiful link to the past. This is just a sampling of the one-of-a-kind crafts that will be offered at this year’s holiday show.

Gift items include home and garden décor, holiday ornaments and seasonal outdoor decorations, gourmet foods and confections, custom clothing and jewelry, toys, pottery, floral arrangements, painted glass, tooled leather and woodworking, antiques and so much more. A variety of entertainment for both the young and young-at-heart will include visits with Santa and clogging performers from across the Southeast. Each visitor will have a chance to win a piece of handcrafted furniture donated by John Bruce.

Site of the show is Spence Field, home of the Sunbelt Ag Expo, located 4 miles southeast of U.S. Hwy. 319 on Highway 133 in Moultrie. Gates open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 per adult; children 12 and under are free with an adult. No pets allowed. For more information, call 985-1968 or e-mail: info@calicocrafts.com. Visit the website, www.calicocrafts.com, for the latest information.

CORRECTION: DUI charge
In a Jan. 28 report, The Observer said Ronald Craig Bass, 50, 4411 Dunn Road, Hartsfield, was charged Jan. 26 with driving under the influence, open container violation and probation violation in connection with a minor wreck on Camilla Highway. Excluding the probation violation charge, that information came from a Moultrie police report of a November 2001 incident.
Bass was charged with probation violation Thursday because all the penalties from the 2001 incident had not been paid. He paid the remaining penalties following his arrest, according to a Moultrie police report.
The Observer regrets the error.
