MOULTRIE, Ga. — The Calico Holiday Arts and Crafts Show will be Nov. 10 and 11 at Spence Field. Located just four miles southeast of Highway 319 on Highway 133, the annual show offers fine arts, handmade crafts, and hand decorated items as well as a wide selection of mouth-watering food and refreshments.

No matter if you are looking to add holiday cheer to our home or yard, add a new piece of jewelry to your wardrobe, or add to your collection of art, you can find what you are looking for at the Calico Arts and Crafts Holiday Show. We invite you to shop among a variety of artisans and craftsmen offering unique, handmade crafts. This one-stop shopping extravaganza allows you the opportunity to shop just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We have talented crafters and artists that join the show including National Champ Caricaturist Dave Washburn of Lawrenceville, Georgia. Dave is a Master Caricaturist, Golden Nosey Award Winner, and a member of the Southeast Chapter of The National Cartoonist Society. Washburn describes himself as taller than Picasso and more easy going than Van Gogh. Also joining us will be Cindy Fite of The Fite Studio in Columbus. Cindy creates handmade wood “canvases” with original acrylic art, acrylic paintings on canvas and mixed media on wood and canvas. Her exquisite pieces are all handmade. Another crowd favorite is Linda McCrary of Nature’s Ferns from Valdosta. She brings exquisite wreaths, mantle pieces, bows, centerpieces and mailbox covers.

In addition, Bob Howell of Moultrie is returning to the show this year with his lathe-turned colored pencil cups, bowls and vases. These brightly colored, conversational pieces will add character to any room they are used in. Cindy Weeks from Florida will offer her popular Raggedy Anns, Santas and other hand-sewn dolls. She is a visitor favorite as she brings the old-fashioned dolls that delight those of all ages. With more than 300 of the finest crafters in the business, this show features exceptional quality ensured through a jury process.  

The Calico Arts and Crafts Holiday Show is an anticipated shopping event for those that appreciate ornamental iron home and garden décor to painted glass and antiques to whimsical painted children’s furniture and accessories … It’s all together in one location. Visitors are sure to find holiday children’s clothing, hand-painted ornaments, beautiful yard signage and other holiday decorations.
