THE DALLAS POST Sunday, March 16, 2008 CRAFTY FUNDRAISER CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST The Dallas Soccer Booster Club holds a Craft Fair every year - and every year it gets bigger. This year was no exception as vendors featuring jewelry, candles, home decorations and all kinds of crafts were on hand, hoping to entice fair-goers with their merchandise. All proceeds benefit the Dallas High School soccer program. Above, Jeannie and April Freeman, of Beaumont, have a hard time deciding which decoration to buy. Below, Kara Kochanski, of Shavertown, checks out the necklaces at the fair. IF YOU'RE NOT AT YOUR LAST JOB, YOUR 401(k) SHOULDN'T BE EITHER.
