Annual Holiday Boutique - Saturday, December 8

Over 25 regional artists, craftspeople and vendors will show their work - original art, hand-made jewelry, wood carving, weaving, birch bark ornaments, jams, jellies and maple syrup, soaps and lotions, greeting cards, rag rugs, candles, screen printed clothing and much, much more.  While holiday shopping at the Boutique, stay awhile longer for lunch and desert!  Support the Cultural Center with your purchase of a bowl of savory home-made soup, bread and a soda.  And don't forget to load up on delectable goodies at the Washburn Area Historical Society's annual bake sale. In celebration of the holiday season, everything in the Center's antique store is 10-20% off; for that young person on your gift list, remember our Vinyl Vault, the Bay Area's only record store!
