About the Whimmydiddle

The Whimmydiddle Arts and Crafts Fair started on a side street in Scott City, Kansas in 1972. Six local women artists were the first exhibitors. It was later moved from the side street to the courthouse lawn. The move to the City Park became necessary when the Fair outgrew the courthouse lawn area. The booths presently number around 300 and will remain close to that because of space limitations.
There is always a wide variety of food offered throughout the day. Some of the food vendors are from other states, but many local organizations take this opportunity to raise money for their group.

Exhibitors come from many states. Shoppers travel many miles to make the annual event and a great deal of Christmas shopping is done at Whimmydiddle. Many of the exhibitors state that Whimmydiddle is the best arts and crafts show they have ever attended.
The date for the annual Whimmydiddle Arts and Crafts Fair is always the last Saturday in September. Source: Scott County Record
