WABASH — The American Heritage Craft Show, sponsored by Gaunt and Son Asphalt, Inc. and the Crow’s Nest Antique Mall, returns to the Honeywell Center from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.

The juried craft show features high-quality handmade craftwork including country, primitive, holiday items, home decor, purses, baskets, clothing, jewelry, gift items and more. Admission is $1, and proceeds benefit the Honeywell Center’s Educational Outreach program.

Regional vendors will fill the Honeywell Center lobby, Honeywell Room and gymnasium, selling holiday and home décor, primitives, jewelry, baskets, natural body care products and furniture. Eugenia’s Restaurant will also be open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If you would like to participate in the craft show as a vendor call the Honeywell Center at (260) 563-1102 for information. Applications and guidelines for potential vendors are also available on our website.

Also, that same day in Wabash, the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Cook Off which will be held at Paradise Spring Historical Park, just blocks away from the Honeywell Center taking place from noon to 4 p.m. This event is the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi and raises over $25,000 each year for area charities.

The Honeywell Foundation seeks to provide artistic, social, cultural and recreational opportunities for all. The Foundation operates the Honeywell Center, Honeywell House, Eagles Theatre, Charley Creek Gardens, the Dr. James Ford Historic Home and the 13-24 Drive In. All programs and activities are supported by gifts from individuals, businesses, the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
