A Northern Kentucky time-honored tradition for over 36 years will return to Highland Heights in early November.
The annual Asbury United Methodist Church, 36th Annual Craft Fair will be held on Friday, November 13th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 14th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
It is open to the public — and particularly to those who enjoy crafting, knitting, crocheting, sewing, wood crafting, quilting, bargain hunting, thrift shopping, early Christmas Shoppers — and saving money.
The festive event is free and there’s plenty of off-street parking.
The Craft Fair features all types of handcrafted items like, crochet hats and scarves, home and holiday decorations, jewelry and wooden crafts, handmade paper goods, vegetables, holiday decorations and home crafts, wide assortment of candies and baked goods and the world-famous Asbury Pickles. These one of a kind, homemade pickles have been named the best by pickle officiants across the region.
The craft fair will feature the popular White Elephant Sale. The name stems from the type of items often sold. Church members, neighbors, volunteers, community organizations and friends of the church donate old items which they no longer use, or otherwise no longer care to own. Items are sold at low, low giveaway prices. Donated items include children’s toys and games, dishes, home and kitchen goods, furniture, electronics, records, tapes and CD’s, video games, clothing, Christmas ornaments, antiques, and much more.
Over the years the Asbury United Methodist Church has raised and donated thousands of dollars to missions, both local and around the world. All funds raised through the event are donated to such worthy causes as: Hosea House, Salvation Army, Parish Kitchen, Red Bird Mission, NKU Wesley Foundation, UMCOR, Matthew 25 Ministries, Grace Ministries, New Hope and the United Methodist Children’s Home in Versailles. Last year’s sale generated over $8,750. All of which was shared across twenty (20) worthy charities, missions and causes.

Asbury United Methodist Church is at 2916 Alexandria Pike in Highland Heights.
