The annual Holiday Market held by the Silver City Gallery Association invites vendors to show their one-of-a-kind handmade and personally created arts and crafts. Items ranged from weavings, natural salves and balms, several tables of jewelry creations, hand-forged copper and silver pieces, clay works, gourd art, photography, fabric. The vast array of wares was a shopper's dream. Music was provided by Bayou Seco and cookies brought smiles to shoppers.
