On Nov. 5, FHN hosted its eighth annual craft fair, which ran from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in both of the school gyms. The craft fair featured 135 vendors, selling items that ranged from candles, to jewelry, to barbeque sauce and Christmas decorations. Many of which the vendors made themselves.

“I thought the craft fair was very well organized, and I really liked all the things that were being sold,” said sophomore Anna Musselman. “My favorite item that was sold was probably the cute Cardinals, Blues and Knights ornaments made by the club We Are All Knights.”

The Craft Fair is held to help raise money for the FHN All-Knighter. The All-Knighter is a party held for the senior class the night of their graduation. It is at the school and the students stay at the school all night, as one last chance to see all their classmates before going off to college.

“I’m excited about spending time with my class at the All-Knighter and getting to know them a lot more than I already do before we go off to college,” said sophomore Audrey Dickherber.

This year, as an addition to the Craft Fair, a clothing drive took place in the upper parking lot at FHN. People were able to drive up, give their clothes to the volunteers, receive a receipt for their donation, and go. The entire process took around five minutes for most donors. The clothing drive helped to fund the All-Knighter through a deal made with the store Savers. It is a consignment store, located on Zumbehl Road, that said they would give 20 cents to the All-Knighter fund for every pound of clothes donated. According to Patti Bernard, one of the parents in charge of the All-Knighter, the team of parents running the All-Knighter thought the Craft Fair was a good day to hold the clothing drive, because it is just before the holiday season, when most people clean out their closets and give things away to make room for new items. 4500 pounds of clothing was collected, earning about $901 for the All-Knighter.

“We spend all year fundraising, and we wanted to do something different this year, in conjunction with the craft fair,” said Bernard. “We found this opportunity with Savers and thought it would work out well.”
