Handmade NW, Formal Holiday Artisans Fair 2011! December 18, 2011

Sunday, December 18, from 11 am – 5 pm, Handmade NW brings an elegant holiday shopping experience to the heart of the Alberta Arts District. Find all of your last-minute local handcrafted gifts in the stunning 1920's historic Acadian Ballroom.
This FREE event will have more than 60 local artisans featuring items for moms, dads, kids and grans—even the hard-to-shop for geek in your life! There are FREE Goodie bags for the first 100 guests through the door! You can also enjoy live classical music and a signature cocktail while you shop. How’s that for setting the mood!
While you’re there, help us celebrate and support our community. This holiday season, Handmade NW has partnered with REACH Community Development as our local nonprofit. Founded in 1983, REACH has pioneered affordable housing and supportive programs that address complex challenges facing our communities. Please bring a donation of household items: paper goods, toothpaste, household cleaners and the like are always on REACH’s wish list.
You’ll see REACH leaders rolling up their sleeves and wrapping gifts. Ask them about how you can become involved with their important programs.
Handmade NW aims to support an economy of crafters and artisans who have committed to bringing quality handmade goods to our community. We believe that the recipient of a handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can be seen and touched—quality that is the result of skill and craftsmanship unachievable through large-scale manufacturing. Handmade NW encourages all to support the local economy, and buy local handmade gifts this holiday.
