All Aboard! Easy Guide to Missoula Holiday Craft Fairs Saturday

Local holiday craft fairs are a staple just about everywhere, and Missoula is no exception.

The joyful season is underway! And from small, medium to large, we have some suggestions that might kick start your Christmas spirit if it's not already in you. And even the thousands of loyal Montana Grizzly football fans can't use a home game as a reason not to attend, as the game doesn't kick off until (oh my) 8:15 pm Saturday!

To make things more convenient, we've made a list and checked it twice for you. And while this undoubtedly doesn't cover them all, we wanted to highlight six events happening this Saturday, November 9, in Missoula. Actually, some events also include Friday or Sunday hours.

In doing so, perhaps we can make loading your Christmas sleigh a wee bit easier this weekend.
