THE PACK LADY: RUMMAGE AND CRAFT SPECTACULAR
saturday, october 20th
11 am - 5 pm
@ AV-Aerie (formerly Open End Gallery)
2000 W. Fulton
3rd Floor
FREE

Organized especially for Ladyfest Chicago, this event will definitely
live up to its name. Not only will crafters be selling their stock,
but thrift hounds and vinyl aficionados will be selling as well. Why
crafts, records, and thrifted finds aren't sold together more often is
an enigma, but we are trying to right that wrong. There will be
handmade and altered clothing, baby items, soaps, yarn, felt toys, and
bags, pillows, a variety of jewelry, and oh so much more. Get a jump
start on your holiday shopping. Be sure to bring cash as there will
not be an ATM on site for this event.

There are a ton of other Ladyfest Chicago events happening this
weekend including shows, readings, workshops, films, etc. See all the
events at http://www.ladyfestchicago.com . Also, just so you know, the
money raised from films, shows, baked goods tables, and merchandise
during Ladyfest Chicago 2007 is going to be split between the two
following charities:

Chicago Women's Health Center
