KINGSTON, LUZERNE COUNTY - An organization that helps fire victims is helping holiday shoppers fill their gift lists

The American Red Cross Holiday Craft Fair is marking its 16th year this weekend.

The event features handmade crafts by more than 100 vendors.

All the money raised supports Red Cross programs.

"We are entering our busy season with fires, and with our military services and health and safety," said Amy Gabriel, the Director of Emergency Services for the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross. "There are so many great programs that the American Red Cross offers, and all of the money benefits those programs."

The Red Cross Craft Fair continues Sunday at the Kingston Armory from 10:00 a. m. until 4:00 p. m.
