Christmas Made in the South drew thousands of people to the Savannah Convention Center over the weekend, with event director Brandyn Reagan estimating attendance at 1,500 or more visitors per day.
Reagan said ticket sales were strong. Jessie Adkisson, an Effingham County resident, said she was looking for crafts and meaningful gifts that would remind her of Savannah.
Vendor Rena Turner, who runs River Pirates Canoes and Paddles with Frank Turner, said customers were focusing on quality over quantity. Vendors also reported that some shoppers were watching their spending.
