Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County The Mental Health Resource League (MHRL) puts on Fair Diddley and Fall Diddley juried craft shows to benefit mental health agencies in McHenry County.

Update for the upcoming year!
On May 16th the members of the board got together for jurying the crafter applications. We spent about 5 hours going through the applications to decide which were the ones we definitely wish to have in the fair.
We have chosen to take this opportunity to start being a little more selective. We, as a whole, are striving to commit to handmade items and try to do better about keeping out the buy and sell crowd. We wish to make Fall Diddley the best experience it possibly can be for both the crafters and the public coming in to buy from the crafters.
We will be sending out the acceptance letters very soon.
Thank you for your patience.
Also, remember, NOBODY FROM THE MHRL WILL BE CONDUCTING ANY BUSINESS THROUGH FACEBOOK! If anybody contacts you through here about your contracts and asks you to send money to them through here, and they do NOT have this MHRL name, they are NOT with us. Be sure to contact us through the website. We will also have a new updated website launching very soon, easier to navigate, with all the information you could possibly need. Plus pictures!!!
