Popular with fans of handcrafted works by wine country artisans, the 12th annual Holiday Shopping Extravaganza will open to the public in a few days.

This is the 12th year for the well-attended event, which features local artisans from Napa and surrounding counties. Sue F. Payne and Friends will offer a collection of their newest artworks, along with crafts and gifts to satisfy Christmas shoppers’ desires. “We feel we have something for everyone,” noted Payne.
The 12th annual Holiday Shopping Extravaganza will be held at the Welcome Grange Hall, located at 3275 Hagen Road, Napa. The two day show will take place on Friday from 1 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Returning this year is a raffle of artisans’ gift items benefiting Hospice of Napa Valley’s annual “Light Up A Life” fundraiser. It’s an opportunity to win the prize of one’s choice and support Hospice of Napa Valley. Last year the raffle raised $2,363, with all proceeds going directly to Hospice.
