Heritage Holidays this weekend
The sixth annual Heritage Holidays in the Alleghenies Craft & Gift Show will be held at the Blair County Convention Center in Altoona November 14th & 15th. Sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and Atlantic Broadband, the show is the largest event of its kind in Central Pennsylvania, offering something for everyone. Holiday Shopping Begins Vendors will fill the ballroom and exhibit hall of the Convention Center to showcase their unique gift and decorative items. Both floors of the Convention Center vendor spots are sold out, with more than 100 booths for show-goers to begin their holiday shopping. "We have been very selective when choosing our vendors for this year's event," said Jennifer Brown, show planner. "I think guests will find a wide variety of quality craft and gift items, and we're thrilled with the vendor response for our show." The shopping is just the beginning of the Holiday experience for show-goers.
