December 22, noon-6pm

If you have someone in mind who is politically minded? Then this is the stop for you. Here is the description:
Many items will be for sale including mural postcard sets, Kansas Murals books, stencil prints and more. Visitors can also bring an item (think car, clothing, suitcase, furniture) to have stenciled for just $10. Special this year will be the work of Ashley Jane Laird, who's recent prints and drawings take on the legislature's attempts to role back the rights of women.

5. Wonder Fair Holiday Shop
If you are a lazy scenester who likes to shop while keeping pajamas on ( or just like to shop online) Wonder Fair has a holiday option for you. Posters, zines, t-shirts, and prints are available online, and most are reasonably priced at around $30.00
Here is their website: http://wonderfair.bigcartel.com/
Also, check out wonder Fair's Snowy Mountain Holiday Showcase on December 14 from 6-9. It sounds interesting. Artists will create multiples from objects and things that are unusual. Here is the description:
The 2013 collection includes: a candy sculpture set, wooden puzzle, 7-color lithograph print, a bag with a question mark on it and anamorphic print with viewing tube. Each piece is expertly crafted using the highest quality materials, which have been sourced, designed, produced and/or created by Field Trip Publishing.
