The Humanity House Utility Relief Craft Festival Fundraiser is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 25-26 at the Riverside Park Community Building. Keagle will be selling Grandma Brewington’s chicken and homemade noodles on the Saturday, with proceeds to benefit Humanity House.
“They are really good,” Keagle said.

Also on the Saturday of the craft fair people can bring their unwanted, but in good condition, clothing to the Spring and Summer Clothing Swap from 10 a.m. to noon.
“Please bring your freshly laundered spring and summer clothing that your family has outgrown or won’t wear,” Keagle said. “The actual swap will begin at 1 p.m. and last until 4 p.m.”
April will be a busy month, Keagle said.
Humanity House will begin collaborating with First Presbyterian Church to sponsor Sunday Soups, 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the church.
