*Here you can find the lowdown on Ohio's largest annual alternative craft fair named "Best of Columbus" by Columbus Monthly* Thanks to everyone for making the 4th Annual event such a success! The 4th annual Craftin' Outlaws alternative craft fair happened on August 16, 2008 and saw a line of over a hundred people waiting to get in the doors at noon. Between amazing vendors, yummy food, an entertaining craft-off, and a beautiful venue... this had to be the best year yet. With proceeds raised from the raffle last year and the Plinko Game this year, we have donated almost $1000 so far to the Rwanda Knits project. ****************** Founder and event coordinator, Liz Rosino, has recently relocated to Seattle, WA but will still remain the main contact person in regards to the fair. There is certainly a future for Craftin' Outlaws with a fifth event being scheduled in Columbus for Fall 2009.
