Fair Diddley Craft Show Set For Sunday

The annual Fair Diddley Craft Show on Woodstock's Historic Square offers variety of arts and crafts.

It's that time of year to get your "Diddley" fix.

The annual Fair Diddley Craft Show is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday on Woodstock's Historic Square. 

The Mental Health Resource League hosts the fair, along with a two-day craft show every October at the Boone County Fairgrounds. Proceeds from both shows are donated to mental health agencies throughout McHenry County.
