HAITIAN AND AFRICAN ITEMS FOR SALE AT SIFE CRAFT FAIR

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Bethune-Cookman College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) Team will host the inaugural “Z” Craft Fair on Saturday, February 21 in the Wendell P. Holmes Business Building parking lot from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Named in honor of the late Dr. William Ziegler, who served as the SIFE team advisor, the fair will benefit “Aid to Artisans,” a non-profit organization based in Haiti focused on helping the artists in that country gain access to the global market.  Imported crafts from Haiti and Africa highlight the items up for sale.

Students from Campbell Middle School and Mainland High School who attended a recent workshop to learn the process of importing and exporting, will take part in selling the items.

Admission is free and the public is invited. There will be food, music and entertainment.
