Coming up on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 13 and 14, the Mateel Community Center in Redway will present the 32nd annual Winter Arts Faire in a celebration of “Communities Coming Together.” Bringing holiday cheer to Southern Humboldt for more than 30 years, this beloved family event will feature nearly 60 handmade artisan booths, home-style cuisine prepared from local ingredients, diverse musical entertainment, children’s storytelling, and a visit from Santa both days (noon-3 p.m.). The Winter Arts Faire is also the best holiday shopping opportunity in Southern Humboldt and supports local creative vendors and handcraft artisans.
The faire will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days, and costs only $7 per day or $10 for the 2-day pass. Mateel Community Center members get in free, as do those under 12 and over 65. Mateel memberships will be available at the door for those wishing to take advantage of the free admission offer. Winter Arts Faire will also be a drop off location for Food Pantry and Toys 4 Tots, and attendees are encouraged to bring donations for these two great community programs. Bring only new, unwrapped toys for Toys 4 Tots and canned, non-perishable foods (no home-canned goods) for the Food
Pantry. Be on the lookout for the roaring motorcycles of Kiwanis as they ride in to pick up the toys as part of their annual Toys 4 Tots run. For more information, call 923-3368 or visit www.mateel.org.
