The annual Hippie to Hipster Craft Fair features more than 100 artists and crafters inside The Branch Connection, formerly known as the Senior Center. Admission is free and guests will discover beautiful handmade holiday décor, clothing, art, and a broad assortment of unique items. The fair is open one day only on Saturday, October 20, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Concessions will also be available within the building during regular fair hours.

The Branch Connection facility encompasses 22,400 square feet and is closed on Friday, October 19, 2018 to allow the vendors and staff to set-up the craft fair. The Branch Connection is located at 14055 Dennis Lane at the corner of Valwood Parkway. Currently, Dennis Lane is one-way flowing from Josey Lane to Valwood Parkway.

Incoming traffic should approach the building from eastbound on Valwood Parkway and turn into the parking lot onto Dennis from Josey Lane and proceed to the building.  Click here for maps and directions to the building address.

The Branch Connection began in 2000 and residents of Farmers Branch, age 50 and better may obtain membership for $25 per year. Carrollton residents may also join for the same fee and non-residents are $50 per year. The Club 50 Program Calendar for October includes Spanish lessons, Square Dancing classes, Game Night, support groups, and dozens of other exciting activities.

There are also educational classes taught by local instructors such as how to build a website using Weebly presented by Saile Estrada or Adobe Photoshop Elements presented by Linda Eakle. The website class is free for members and the Photoshop classes require a $35 fee. The game room is open during regular facility hours for cards, dominoes, or billiards.
