NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Nov. 20.

SEQUIM — The Dungeness River Audubon Center will host its annual Nature Mart, a holiday bazaar with one-of-a-kind gifts and ornaments today and Saturday.

Nature Mart will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the center in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.

Nature themes will predominate in such gifts as cornhusk dolls, decorative items and scarves and purses made from antique silk.

Pet toys and treats will be available.

The river center’s gift shop will sell patches and pins commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Railroad Bridge.

The Nature Mart bake sale will feature both sweets and savories.

Free hot cider will be served to shoppers.

In the courtyard, visitors can buy wreaths or make their own for a fee. Materials and guidance will be provided.

Only 100 raffle tickets will be sold for a custom-knit sweater made of Merino wool.

The winner will be able to choose the color and size, from infant to children’s size 8, and the sweater will be ready before Christmas, organizers said.

Raffle tickets, which are $10, are on sale at the entrance.

The winning ticket will be drawn at 4 p.m. Saturday. The winner does not need to be present.

Proceeds from Nature Mart and the raffle help support the center’s education programs.

For more information, see the center’s Facebook page or visit www.DungenessRiverCenter.org.
