Mission
San Miguel Thanksgiving Arts, Crafts, and Food Faire
Mission San
Miguel, San Miguel, CA. . – Just as in the
mission days, when everything given and held dear was created by the hands of
local craftsmen and artists, so too in that spirit, San Luis Obispo County
artists and cooks will show off and offer their handiwork for sale at the San
Miguel Mission Arts, Crafts and Food Faire November 23rd and 24th from 9:30am to 4:00pm and
November 25th from 8am to 4:00pm.
In these unsettling times, we are all
reexamining our core values and beliefs and realize that often the best things
are made by hand and come “from the heart”.
It is with this spirit that this event is conceived. Faire organizer Susie Ovitt remarked, “In
this especially troubling time, this Mission is a very special place of comfort
to those that come here for solace. The
Mission church is particularly special because it is preserved its original
condition, unlike most other missions.
We are trying to raise money for another structure to house the parish
during services and meetings while this special place can be cleaned and retrofitted.
Thanksgiving weekend seems like a natural time to offer such unique and
beautiful items for sale for the benefit of all!”
Highlighting this event is an outstanding
boutique featuring: Original Art, Prints, Sculpture, Literature, Needlework and
Crafts all exquisitely made by fellow San Luis Obispo County artists and
crafters, as well as Music, Homemade Food and Desserts. In addition to this,
demonstrations of the old mission crafts of weaving and spinning are slated.
This is an event the whole family can have
fun and participate in! Extend your
Thanksgiving, and kick off the Christmas season with this relaxing and
old-fashioned event. A portion of the sales will benefit the Parish Building
Fund.
