Holiday Shopping Near Knoxville
You can avoid large crowds and long check-out lines by doing some Christmas shopping this year near Knoxville.

The annual Christmas at Walnut Grove Farm event is this weekend. This is the 22nd year for the event, running 10 to 4 today, and 11 to 3 tomorrow and Sunday -- the last days this year the Farm will be open to the public.

Owner Jan King tells the WGIL Morning News some unique crafts and other items will be on display and for sale.

"It's a festive event and we have fine artisans there," says King. "Everything that is sold at the barn is handmade by the people selling them. The really wonderful thing about it is that it's all made by local people."

King says the artistry of retired Galesburg High School art teacher Chris Dokolasa will be featured as well this year.

Admission is non-perishable foods that will be put in local Christmas baskets. And in addition to art, there will be food available, wagon rides, and visits with Saint Nicholas himself.
