Ryle High School in Union, KY has been hosting an art and craft fair the weekend before Thanksgiving for many years.

The Ryle High School Holiday Art and Craft Show is one of the largest in the area. With more than 175 booths, just about every non-classroom space in the large high school is occupied by arts and crafts booths ranging from jewelry to textiles, ceramics to gourds, and much more.
