The 30th annual CSI Harvest Festival, a holiday arts and crafts show, will be held at the College of Southern Idaho Eldon Evans Expo Center the weekend of Nov. 6 - 8.
The fundraiser for College of Southern Idaho DEX students has become one of the largest holiday arts and craft events in Southern Idaho, featuring some 200 vendors from throughout southern Idaho and several neighboring states. Items for sale traditionally include candy, holiday decorations, hand made wood, metal and glass objects, jewelry, candles, and home décor. A number of vendors feature unique items such as international gifts.
Students from CSI’s Culinary Arts ‘Hosteurs’ Club will sell egg and sausage muffins, Navajo tacos, hamburgers, and baked potatoes throughout the event for their own fundraiser, as well.
Hours for the show will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6 and 7 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8. Admission to the show will be $1 per person. From noon until 2 p.m. Sunday, the 8th, visitors who bring a canned food donation for local food banks will be admitted free of charge. Admission tickets automatically enter visitors in the hourly raffles during the show.
Marketing students with the College of Southern Idaho’s Delta Epsilon Chi (DEX) club produce the show to raise money for travel expenses to regional and national business and marketing competitions and other club activities. Other CSI student clubs including Veterinary Technology, Horticulture, Equine, and the CSI Teacher Education Association are also helping with the event.
Parking at the Expo Center is limited and motorists are advised that no parking is allowed on North College Road. Free, nearby parking is available in the CSI lot near the Herrett Center for Arts and Science and a free shuttle service will operate between the Herrett and Expo Center parking lots throughout the show.
