Saline Spring Craft Show benefits Saline Area Schools groups
Chicks, crafts and cookies await visitors to the 17th annual Spring Saline Craft Show, which serves as a fundraiser for the Saline Community Schools.
In fact, nine youth groups from Saline Area Schools will use this as a fundraiser, said Cheryl Hoeft, organizer of the event.

"The Spring Saline Craft Show is a great event that has something for all ages,” said Brian Puffer, director of community education for Saline Area Schools.
“You can go shopping, bid on baskets at the silent auction, decorate a cookie, get your picture taken with Peter Cottontail and get a free caricature of yourself all in the same day,” he said. Admission is $2 for adults and free from children 5 years and younger, and no strollers will be allowed.
More than 135 exhibitors from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio will sell items such as baskets, jewelry, folk art, quilting, primitives, stained glass, ceramics, children’s and adult clothing, toys, silk and dried flowers, candles and furniture.
Ducks are among the items that can be purchased at the Saline Spring Craft Show.

Saline Community Education and the craft show also will sponsor a “Spring Gift Basket Contest,” through which groups and individuals are invited to prepare a food basket for any meal to be donated to Saline Social Services, Food Gatherers and Aid in Milan.

The craft show is a great community event, but it would be nice if they would pick up after themselves after the event, show signs that litter our country side and back roads; end up in our fields over time. Even signs still left on the telephone poles from the December show and last spring are still floating around. I would really like to know how littering the countryside "benefits the Saline area"
