Holiday shoppers searching for a one-of-a-kind holiday gift can stop by the Mid-State Fair Market in Paso Robles this December.

About 30 local vendors will be showcasing their products at the market in Paso Robles over the second weekend of the month, according to a news release from the Paso Robles Mid-State Fair.

The “three-day shopping experience” will feature vendors selling art, holiday gifts, home decor, jewelry, clothing, baked goods and more, the release said.

Old West Cinnamon Rolls will be there along with other food and beverage vendors, the release said.

Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast chapter will be at the market for free hands-on activities and crafts on Dec. 9 and 10. All guests are also invited to take a moment to decorate gratitude cards for U.S. soldiers deployed overseas.

Parking and admission to the event are both free, according to the release. Guests can park in parking lot C on Gregory Avenue and the main lot on Riverside Avenue.

The fair is open Dec. 8 from noon to 4 p.m., and Dec. 9-10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Paso Robles Event Center at 2198 Riverside Ave.
