Urban Craft Uprising is Seattle's largest indie craft show! At UCU, now in its eighth year, fans can choose from a wide variety of hand-crafted goods, including clothing of all types, jewelry, gifts, bags, wallets, buttons, accessories, aprons, children's goods, toys, housewares, paper goods, candles, kits, art, food, and much, much more.

Take a break from the Memorial Day winery tours to meet the colorful alpacas of EasyGo Farm and Alpacas of Oregon. The Open Barn is located in Sherwood, Oregon, just off Hwy 99, in the midst of wine country.
Hand feed alpacas, get your hands on their soft fleece, and watch fiber demos. The Barn Store will be stocked with teddy bears, sweaters, scarves, & other alpaca products, many hand-crafted.
Hand-spinners, knitters, & other fiber artists will find fleece and yarn. Bring your camera and get a shot of the alpaca who provided the raw material for your next project.
