There were over 115 vendors that took part in this year’s Christmas at Apollo Craft Show. Thousands of people came to shop for homemade candies and treats for people and their pets, various crafts, clothing, and decorations. The money raised during the holiday event helps the Apollo students throughout the year. 

“We have a lot of students from all the different labs here at Apollo volunteering to help out the vendors, carry their stuff in, help with anything that they may need, work the doors. Those students get the money from the hours that they work to go to their labs, to do competitions, to go on field trips, buy supplies that they may need, and stuff like that," Hailey Diana, Christmas at Apollo Craft Show. 

Some vendors, like 9-year-old Kolten Bowdle, enjoy showing off their talents.
