With about a month to go before many people celebrate the holidays with gift-giving, local artists and makers are pooling together to showcase their wares.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Saturday (Nov. 27), from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Gorge Gazebo, is the Craft Corral, a first-time event organized by local artist Kim Marks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Marks has an art stand at the Gorge Harbour Marina Resort during the summer. She said that besides a varied selection of edible and craft items, there will be live music at this weekend's event, as she feels people are missing events and the opportunity to come together.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no admission charge but people are encouraged to bring a non-perishable item for the food bank. She hopes this event will be the first of many to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Squirrel Cove, this weekend kicks off the holiday opening hours for the <\/span>Cortes Craft Co-op Shop<\/span><\/a>, which has been an island staple for more than 30 years.\u00a0<\/span>Irene Blueth of <\/span>Silver Cedar Jewelry<\/span><\/a> has been an artist member for nearly as long and recalled how the shop's building was constructed by members shortly after her arrival on the island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The shop typically opens for the summer months, and then again prior to Christmas. This holiday season, it's open for business <\/span>from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays Nov. 26 - Dec. 19.<\/span><\/p>\n
