Johnson Recreation Center, 19803 R.H. Johnson Blvd. This is the community’s 41st year hosting this popular event, which features the work of Sun City West artisans from more than 20 clubs offering pottery, jewelry, clothing, artwork and so much more at exceptional prices. The fair attracts collectors of popular local artists. Many col- lectors come specifically for the color scheme or style of an artist and to see what is new. A good number of the items featured at the fair are sold year-round in the Village Store as well as at the fair, but some specialty items, such as pieces of metal art and woodworking pieces, are sold only at the fair due to size con- straints. Admission to the fair is free and open to the public. There is plenty of free parking in both the front and back parking areas of the center’s campus. Accepted forms of payment at the fair are Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and checks. The Village Store has a point-of-sale barcoded sys- tem that requires sales tax to be added to purchases. All other vendors participating in the fair include sales tax in their prices. Concessions will be available for purchase. Vendor space is available only to Sun City West Chartered Club members. For more information about the Fall Arts and Crafts Fair, contact Village Store Super- visor Katie Van Leuven at 623- 544-6135 or email her at katie.vanleuven@suncitywest. com.
