Calendar roundup
One of the easiest ways to go green this holiday season is to give gifts made locally. Buying handmade items from Spokane area crafters means less fuel was burned transporting those goods to you.
As you head out for the "Black Friday" shopping frenzy, why not swing by some craft fairs? Here's a roundup of events being held this weekend:
*Handmade ornament show, Tinman Art Gallery, 811 W. Garland Ave., (509) 325-1500. Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
*Kris Kringle Market Craft Fair, Loon Lake Historical Society, Old Loon Lake School House, 4000 Colville Road (half-mile west of the junction of Highways 395 and 292), (509) 233-2222. Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. (It continues in December if you're too stuffed from Thanksgiving to move.)
*'Tis the Season Arts and Crafts Show, Hill's Resort, Priest Lake, Idaho, (208) 443-2551. Friday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
*If you're up for a drive, check out the Christkindlmarkt, Leavenworth's annual German-style Christmas market. Sure, it's 193 miles away, but that's still closer than China.
