Fall Diddley is a great way to start your holiday shopping this weekend! The 39th annual craft show – hosted by the Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County’s (MHRL) – will be Oct. 12 (9 am-5 pm)-13 (9 am-4 pm) at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Belvidere, IL. 

Fall Diddley is a juried event featuring nearly 300 unique hand crafted vendors offering folk art, wood carving, dried florals, pottery, painted and appliquéd clothing, jewelry, fine art and much more. 

Although countless items are available from crafters, there is generally an emphasis on gift items focusing on the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays since the show takes place in October and close to the holiday season.

Admission into the MHRL fundraiser is $10 per person (12 and older).

The MHRL is a 100% volunteer run non-profit organization presenting this nationally-acclaimed craft show. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from this show is allocated to 13 McHenry County non-profit agencies that focus on the needs of individuals suffering from mental health related disorders.
