There will be some new “friends” making an appearance at the Prairie Bell Christmas Bazaar & Craft Show this year. Two of these cuddly friends are the “Cheerful Chicken” and the “Obnoxious Octopus.” Others available may include hippos, roly polys, squids and possibly even an alligator or spider. Lorena Ballard and her mother have been busy crocheting these cute snuggly critters that would be a great gift for a young child. Come check out these fun critters at the Prairie Bell HCE Craft Show to be held tomorrow, Nov. 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Morris High School gym.
