GREENSBORO -- Rain may be in the forecast, but it doesn't have to put a damper on your weekend.

The 26th annual Craftsmen's Spring Classic is back. More than 300 vendors from across the country are at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center this weekend, showing off their wares.

Like Chris Helvey and his wife.

"I do pendants, earrings, regular rings stone rings, bracelets, I do some bracelets,” he said.

This is the Tennessee jewelers 13th year coming to the show to sell his collection of 14, 10 and 18 karat gold jewelry.

"I work on each piece individually. It is made by itself. I don't make mass producing in any way, shape, form or fashion. And you get a unique piece in that," he explained.

You'll find everything at the center, from clothing, jewelry to artwork -- things that you won't find anyplace else.

The owner of Rock 'N' K Stoneworks, Kevin Kaye says his lamp business is rocking ... literally.

"People just love them. They're amazed. The first time they see it they can't believe it's rocks. Or the colors of them."

Whatever your taste, you'll likely find it here at the Special Events Center this weekend.

"There's just a lot of beautiful work," Kaye said. "Come on out here and check it out. If you don't like rock lamps, there's something else for you."

The Craftsmen's Classic runs through Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center. Tickets are $7 for adults, $1 for kids 6-12. For show times and discount coupons call (336) 282-5550.
