More than 75 vendors will take part in this weekend’s event, including artisans, small business owners, crafters, bakers, and more. Attendees will find unique gift ideas for Easter or Mother’s Day among clothing boutiques, jewelry, bakeries, face painting, coffee, tea, chocolates, wine, collectables, popcorn, massages, beer, T-Shirts, cosmetics, candles and wax melts, home décor, resin items, natural pet treats, alpaca items, skin care, massages, candy, Etsy owners and much more.  The full list of entrepreneurs can be found at FeolaEntertainment.com.

The Easter Bunny will visit the mall from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. A professional photographer will be on hand accepting donations for professional digital photos.  

Family horse and carriage rides (groups of four) will be offering rides on a downtown loop all weekend. The carriage rides are provided by Misty Lane Farms Performance Horses. Reservations are recommended by calling 724 283 5614.
