Crafters prepare for Small Town Christmas

NORTH GEORGETOWN

Small Town Christmas 2014, a tour of selected crafters and their shops, will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Look for the Small Town Christmas House at each stop. Start where you like and visit all or any of the sites. Pick up your entry card at any stop.

Collect a stamp on your card at each stop and turn it in for a chance to win a basket filled with items from each crafter, valued at about $100. You must have all nine of 11 possible stamps to be eligible to win. View the basket at stop No. 9.

Stops No. 10 and 11 are churches that will serve dinners that day for a donation.

Maps are available at the Old Stage Coach Inn.
