Holiday shopping begins

The Randolph Woman’s Club held its annual Fall Craft Show Saturday - generally considered the local kickoff to the holiday shopping season. More than 350 people attended the event to browse vendors at the city auditorium. Jennifer Haselhorst (above) hands off a fresh baked pie to a customer at the St. Frances de Chantal booth.

Event proceeds support the children’s collection at the Lied Randolph Public LIbrary and city park projects.
