Children’s Christmas Market at Library This Year

Saturday, December 8, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Orcas Public Library

— from Michel Vekved —

It’s that time of year again! The 6th Children’s Christmas Market will be taking place the week after the Artisans Fair at Odd Fellows. New location and date! This year the children’s Christmas market will be held at the Orcas island Public Library and generously sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

CALL FOR KID ARTISAN VENDORS

Any Orcas Island child from the ages of 5 – 18, from any school, or home schooled, is invited to sell their hand crafted wares at this festive children’s market. Previous years’ markets have been a treasure trove of greeting cards, hand carved toys, felted and knitted wares, beach glass art, salvaged art, baked goods and sweet surprises, all starting from 25 cents. The maximum price is $10. All work is handmade, local, and affordable.

A $5 fee gets you a small or shared table to sell your wares. Slightly larger tables are offered at $10 and are limited in supply, so book a spot early.

For safety reasons, selling of hot food that require cooking on site, or plugging in to an electric socket may be allowed only to vendors over 15 with parent supervision.

For young artists who are interested in selling their work at the Children’s Christmas Market, please contact Rachel Bishop at 376 5003 or rachelbishop@yahoo.com to reserve a table.
