shoppingThe festive season arrives in Owen Sound!

Wake up your Christmas Spirit this weekend at the 10th annual Fine Craft Christmas Show and Sale. The Harmony Centre in downtown Owen Sound will host this event for the fourth year. "The reclaimed church is the perfect venue for our event, shopping becomes an adventure! You get to explore all the nooks and crannies or this notable building, discovering hand made craft and art, showcased by the backdrop of beautiful architecture" says show coordinator Morag Budgeon. Budgeon and her craft show partner, Kate Civiero, are both makers, with many years of experience exhibiting at craft shows across Ontario. "We have populated this show with over 60 professional artists and makers," says Civiero, "no need to travel afar to see awesome hand crafted items when we bring it to your doorstep!"

Back by popular demand will be the Fine Food section in the basement on Saturday and Sunday. OShaRE will be serving a delicious lunch to raise funds for their soup kitchen.

Admission is by donation, with a percentage going to the OShaRE. Hours are Friday 5-9, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-4.

Textiles, wood, metal, candles, beauty products, pottery, jewellery, art and décor, fine food....this is shopping at its best. The Harmony Centre is located at 890 4th Avenue East. For more information, visit www.finecraftchristmas.com.
