Festival of Arts a success | Letter

Published 4:30 pm Friday, November 30, 2012

The Orcas Senior Center was decorated, Santa and Mrs. Claus were here and the local artisans were ready for the beginning of the holiday season.  A huge “Thank You” to our local artists who came for the day to sell their wares.

Then another “Thank You” to everyone who came to buy.  It was heartwarming to see the local support for the artists who depend on selling their items locally.

It is also one of the biggest fundraisers for the Orcas Senior Center.  Thanks also go to Karen Blinn for her beautiful quilt in the raffle, and to Frank Laudin, Crow Valley Pottery, Moon Glow, Ron and Maggie Schuler and Irene O’Neil for their donations to the silent auction.

Also, thanks to all of the volunteers who helped decorate and who worked the day of the event.  Volunteers are golden.
