From cheese balls to scrap metal art, the Christmas Carousel Holiday Festival in Raleigh seems to offer just about everything for that hard-to-shop for friend or family member.
With more than 250 exhibitors, this event has been attracting crowds to the Jim Graham Building at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds on Thanksgiving weekend for more than 23 years. The show runs from Friday thru Sunday.

And Santa will even be there to take photos with the children.
