RIFA Holds “Art of Compassion” Event
DOWNTOWN JACKSON — West Tennessee vendors showed their support for a local ministry on Saturday. Vendors set up tents downtown next to Charlie Bulldog’s, to sell arts, crafts and antiques. Volunteers say they paired up with the Jackson Downtown Development, to help raise money for the Regional Inter-Faith Association. Nearly 30 vendors sold food, arts and antiques, to showcase all the talents in the Hub City. “We have booths set up where they can learn more about RIFA, about our thrift store and about what we do here in the community,” Lindsay Dawkins said, Communications Coordinator for RIFA. “So we hope we bring awareness through that and also through the arts as well.” The vendors started around 9 a.m.. Saturday and left at 5 p.m. RIFA says they also sold books and held a silent auction.
