Arico, 85, has perfected his stained glass handiwork for some 50 years to create suncatchers, lamps, ornaments, characters and glass panels. These days, he sells some pieces at two holiday craft fairs a year, including Dec. 2-3 at Ridgeline High School in Liberty Lake, but he's also enjoys gifting pieces of artwork. He recently made and donated 70 star-shaped ornaments in red, white and blue for a cause. The pieces adorn a patriotic-themed Christmas tree up for raffle at the Cancer Community Charities craft fair fundraiser on Friday and Saturday at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. The stained glass topper is his handiwork, as well, and the tree with other decor and gift packages is valued at $2,000.
