Every year, a town up here in the mountains has a big Christmas in July festival. There are craft vendors, food stalls, demonstrations, all the fun stuff.

Santa and Mrs. Claus are even there!
The entirety of the main street closes down for 3 days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and the festival takes over. This year, there were some fun vendors, although there did seem to be about a million pottery stalls. I got a cute spoon rest from one of them!
Christmas in July up here is more about how the Christmas tree industry than anything else. Up here, Christmas tree farms are all over the place. It’s a little old fashioned, including the ice cream vendor who uses an old steam engine (I think) to make their ice cream.
With funnel cake in hand, and craft ideas galore, I wish you the very best for this next week!
