On October 2nd, re-purposed crafts, antiques, a kids craft area and food trucks are all waiting for you for the price of a mere $2 to get in, or free with a canned food donation. This event's cause is equally exciting, as all proceeds benefit Project RIDE's therapeutic horseback riding program serving individuals with disabilities or special needs. All items for sale are handcrafted or re-purposed. So, head on down to Elk Grove for this annual craft bizarre.
