Hard to believe it's already that time of year again! I received the folowing press release for the annual Greening of Red Feather:
FROM: Red Feather Lakes Historical Society
RE: Greening of Red Feather Craft Fair
CONTACT: Pat Clemens 970- 495-0560
Red Feather Lakes Historical Society will hold their annual GREENING OF RED FEATHER CRAFT FAIR on the weekend of December 4 and 5, 2010, from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 3 pm on Sunday.
The events all take place in the POA Buildings, Fire Barn and Library in the village of Red Feather Lakes, 23 miles west of Highway 287 on County Road 74E.
I'm adding this: look for the sign to the Village and turn right off of County Rd. 74E drive North to Main Street. My smart daughter thought she didn't need directions and relied on her GPS one year - she got stuck in the snow on a side street, which greatly reduced her shopping time at the Fair :>)
This HOLIDAY MARKETPLACE will highlight craft booths offering hand-crafted Christmas items, clothing, paintings, carvings, photography, jewelry and home-baked goodies, Library events and much more.
This is an event for the whole family; pick up those special gifts and decorations at the Greening of Red Feather and cut your own tree during the Forest Service Tree Cut.
