Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support invites everyone to bring family and guests to the Jingle Bell Dinner and Holiday Preview Saturday, Nov. 28, 6 p.m. at the Lopez Community Center.

Experience elegant food and wine pairings by Vita’s. Make your shopping easy this year with exciting gifts created by local artisans and businesses. Enjoy the Carters’ Gypsy Goat and the music of Ceapa Matei. Purchase the new Christmas card designed by Lopez Island artist Kate Scott. And a special treat, A Child’s Christmas in Wales, will be performed by Robert Herrmann and Lopez Sound.

The evening will also feature an announcement of the winner of the Goat Campaign, so everyone will know who “got the goat” this year.

Tickets are $30, and are available at Blossom, Islehaven Books, Paper Scissors on the Rock, www.lopezcenter.com, and the LIHHS office. All proceeds from the event will benefit Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support.
