Thrower said everything went really well. There were seven vendors at the craft sale who were very appreciative of the shoppers who came out to support them.

Vendors Krysten Cunningham and Haily Starkes of Fable Ray Apothecary spent several years perfecting their wellness products and were extremely happy to be able to showcase them. Some of their all natural items included: wax melts, soap, room spray, and lip balm.
