Fall Into Christmas was on this weekend, showcasing local vendors and the products they offer.

The two-day fine art and handicraft market is an annual tradition in Swift Current, bringing local small businesses together.

Cyndi Tasche, show organizer of Fall into Christmas, said as the event's social media pages suggest, people are going out of their way to attend.

"I know from the interactions that have been happening on our Facebook media, I think that the town is more than pumped, as is the area," she remarked. "I hear from out and about, the small towns all around Swift Current, they're coming. They're coming to town."

This is the 14th-annual Fall Into Christmas event, and saw a record number of people come out to sell their products.

Tasche said that since the creation of the event they have been in the same location and the same charity.

"We started in 2005, in the same facility, building, much the same show, and gained in reputation because certainly, we draw bigger vendors from across more expanse of the country. In all that time we've always been partnered with the Southwest Crisis Services."

When asked how the first event went, Tasche said that due to their previous connections with vendors, it went off without a hitch.

"You know right from 2005 we hit the ground running, it was very very well received. Plus the fact that we had networked sufficiently with our vendor friends, they were willing to take that chance. So the event really did start big."

Expanding on how long the event has been running for, Tasche said that even though they have put it on for nearly a decade and a half, it is always a lot of work to hold it.

"There also so many details to look after as with any project and function, those details don't go away just because it's gone on for so long, so it's hectic. You have to provide a lot of energy to it, and it costs a lot of money to get it off the ground and do this kind of quality show, but it's all very worth it."

The event featured around 100 vendors, selling anything from beef jerky to jewelry.
