Fall is in the air and crafts soon will be, too.

The Ironton Co-Operative Club is working to prepare its fall craft show set for

9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Ironton High School Sports Center (the gymnasium) at Seventh and Ellison street in Ironton.

This year will be a one-day event where crafters from around the region will have their goods on display and for sale.

Admission at the door is $2.

A bake sale and caf\u00E9 will be available for those who come hungry.

But if it is browsing visitors prefer, there will be plenty to see.

Among the many crafts, art students from Ironton High School will have their work on display for friendly competition.

Also, back by popular demand is the &#8221win a basket“ drawing of baskets put together and donated by individual Co-Op members.

The highlight of the event will be licensed auctioneer and 30-year antique expert Porky Nichols who will do appraisals of items for only $1.

He is the owner of White Eagle Auction Company.

For anyone who has ever watched PBS' Antiques Roadshow or HGTV's Collector Inspector where the experts tell homeowners what their trinkets or family heirlooms are worth and wished you had the opportunity to do the same, this is the chance.

Visitors can bring grandma's old tea pot or that interesting piece of hand-blown glass found at a yard sale to the Ironton Co-Op's Craft Show and find how much it is worth.

Nichols will generously donate the proceeds to the Co-Op Club's education efforts.

All proceeds from admission, bake sale, basket drawings, appraisals and the rent from crafter booths will go toward the Ironton Co-Operative Club's fund raising efforts to support education in the Ironton area.
