The Point Roberts Artisans Guild is celebrating the rural community's 11th annual Point Roberts Christmas Craft Faire next month.
The event takes place Saturday, Dec. 7 and Sunday, Dec. 8 at the Point Roberts Community Center and features widely respected crafters and artisans from the American peninsula.
The faire will offer fiber, glass and paper arts, jewelry, food and canned goods, soaps, candles, table centerpieces, hand-painted furniture, toys and Christmas crafts.
Local musicians and food crafters are also contributing to the two-day event with seasonal music, song and edibles.
Building on a tradition of community involvement and a long-standing commitment of giving back to the community, the faire features a Festive Walk along Gulf Road where visitors can drop into galleries, shops and eateries.
There will also be a Whale Spotting game where shoppers can pick up a passport they can get stamped for a chance to win a special prize.
Faire goers can also enter a raffle - with prizes generously donated by artisans and Point Roberts businesses - that will benefit the Point Roberts Historical Society. Society docents will be on hand both days to show photos, share stories and answer historical questions about Point Roberts.
Faire hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7 and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8. The Point Roberts Community Center is located at 1487 Gulf Rd.
