These Are Holly Days

Make a plan to fill gift bags and mailboxes with the beautiful gift of Nature

Shoppers at Geauga Park District’s reinstated, ever-popular Holly Days Artisan Boutique will revel in a premier selection of juried Nature-themed gifts by more than 25 regional artists. It’s the perfect place to find quality handmade items for everyone on your list.

Holly Days Artisan Boutique happens this year on Saturday, November 11, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The West Woods in Russell Township.

Plus, in a twist from previous years’ incarnation of the Mistletoe Market, this year’s will feature youth artisans ages 18 and under selling items that they themselves have made at various price points. Also encourage the kids to take a look in here – they may just find some gifts for family and friends, as well.

Within a festive nature setting, Holly Days shoppers can expect to find heirloom-quality ornaments and holiday décor, all-natural bath and beauty products, gourmet food and snack items, unique jewelry and accessories, beautiful and functional pottery and glass items, gifts hand-turned from wood, indoor planters and terrariums, and much more. There will truly be something for everyone.

And in addition to fine shopping, visitors will be treated to live music by Jan Pavlinak and Vic Swanson.

All are welcome free of charge. The West Woods is wheelchair/stroller accessible. With questions, please contact Teresa Runion, special events coordinator, at trunion@geaugaparkdistrict.org or 440-279-0882.

Browse a premier selection of nature-themed holiday decor and gifts for sale by regional artisans – the perfect opportunity to find unique, handmade items for everyone on one’s list. Kids may also shop the Mistletoe Market for handmade gifts created by youth artisans, aided by volunteer “elves.”
