WEEKEND: Juried fair, lavender gifts offered on Peninsula

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Nov. 28.

A juried arts and crafts fair in Port Townsend is among the places one can buy Christmas gifts this holiday weekend.

The 24th annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Saturday at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St.

The two-day fair will offer handmade craftwork from Northwest artists, appropriate for gifts year-round, while student musicians perform.

This show is staged by the Port Townsend Arts Guild, a self-supporting nonprofit arts guild offering arts scholarships to Jefferson County students majoring in the arts.

The artists donate a portion of each sale to the Jefferson County Food Bank.

The Paws-N-Claws 4-H Club will sell catnip mice, and Jefferson County 4-H delegates will have a table to raise funds for a conference in Olympia.
