The Christmas Shopping Experience You Can't Miss in Belvidere, IL

I consider myself a crafty person, and I am not just talking about my ability to make things here. I'm talking about my love for crafts; buying them, making them, watching how-to videos...I love ALL of it, but I am ashamed to admit there is one major craft show in the Rockford area that I have never been to before. It's Christmas At The Farm at Meyer's Tails Up Farm in Belvidere.

A Bit Of Shopping Advice

Any craft show aficionado will tell you that you score the best, most unique items when you get there early, so you should probably plan on doing that if you really want to buy a haul. Also, rumor has it that although the Christmas At The Farm party officially kicks in on Saturday, Friday night has its own special shopping vibe you will probably want to be a part of.
