KENNEWICK, Wash.-- You can make some early holiday memories at the annual "Christmas Memories" show in Kennewick this weekend. More than 150 vendors are set up at the Benton County Fairgrounds.
There are handmade crafts from local, regional, and national artists, gourmet food, and much more. Some vendors have been coming here for years and say turn-out is always huge. Lisa Killian, of Killian's Korn from Othello, says her family has been setting up at the show since 1990 when the show first came to the Tri-Cities. She says, "We just keep coming back because we get more and more customers, a bigger following, and it's just gone really well for us."
Rick Thompson, of Kennewick, was at the show selling aprons that his wife makes for Aprons Galore. He says, "We have a good product. We make it all. My wife sewed 1,200 aprons in three months."
"Christmas Memories" is at the Benton County Fairgrounds. The hours are:
Friday 10:00 a.m.- 9:00 p.m.
Saturday 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
Sunday 11:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
It costs $5 to get in, but your pass is good the whole weekend.
