Nearly 100 vendors from across the Kenai Peninsula Borough this year took part in Homer Council on the Arts’ annual Nutcracker Faire, offering a diversity of wares including ceramics, paintings, photography, fiber crafts, woodworks, metalworks, jewelry, makeup, upcycled clothing, plants and more. Multiple food vendors also set up shop in the commons, and fairgoers sat at tables with their purchases while enjoying live music performances from local artists such as the KP Brass Band, Blades of Brass and The Cosmic Creature Club’s own David Webster.
Homer High School’s swing choir and jazz band, as well as the OPUS Codas, also gave performances throughout the weekend.
