The Argument
- What: A craft show at New Life Baptist Church in Addison, with a few vendor spots still open for crafters who want in. (FACT: WKHM, Oct. 13, 2026.)
- When: Saturday, November 7, 2026, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (FACT: WKHM.)
- Where: New Life Baptist Church, off US-127 in Addison, a short drive south of Jackson. (FACT: WKHM.)
- Who to contact: Interested craft vendors can contact organizer Mandy Piotrowski at 517-206-1020 to start the conversation about joining the show. (FACT: WKHM.)
What shoppers will find
Organizer Mandy Piotrowski described the show to WKHM ahead of the event, and singled out glass etchings as something new to the show this year that she is excited for shoppers to see. (FACT: WKHM.)
There will also be a prize drawing at the end of the show. Guests can leave their phone number when they enter, so nobody has to be present at the drawing to win. (FACT: WKHM.)
(COMMENTARY: That drawing detail is smarter than it looks. Letting shoppers leave a number instead of hovering until 4 p.m. keeps the floor relaxed, and it respects the reality of a Saturday: people have kids, shifts and other stops. Small courtesies like that are why church-hall shows keep their crowds year after year while bigger, colder events churn.)
Why a vendor spot here is worth a call
(COMMENTARY: November 7 sits in the sweet spot of the craft calendar: early enough that holiday shoppers still have full lists and full wallets, late enough that they are actually buying. A show on the US-127 corridor draws from both Jackson and Lenawee County traffic, and a church venue keeps vendor costs in the sane range compared with big expo halls. If you make things and you have been waiting for a sign to try a show, a few remaining spots in a friendly room is about as low-risk as a first show gets.)
(COMMENTARY: For Jackson-area makers, there is also a sequencing play. Shipshewana on the Road fills the Jackson Fairgrounds this weekend, October 17 to 18. Walking that floor now, then selling your own work in Addison on November 7, is a three-week education in pricing, display and what local shoppers actually pick up.)
Open question: the announcement does not publish vendor table fees or the full vendor list, so makers should ask about both on the call before committing a Saturday. That detail stays open here rather than guessed at.
