There are less than 50 shopping days left until Christmas. Support your local artists and crafters by buying locally produced items at The Inter-Island Creative Affair Nov. 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Woodmen’s Hall on Lopez Island. Over twenty talented local artists from throughout the islands will be showing in one place for just one day. A raffle will be held every 30 minutes featuring items donated by local artists. Everyone bringing non perishable food items for the food bank will receive an entry to the raffle. You must be present to win. Refreshments will be served by donation to the Lopez Hospice.
