PORT ANGELES — Doll lovers young and old will find a Parisian delight in the 20th annual Promise of Spring Doll Show on Saturday.
The doll show will take visitors to France this year with the theme “Dolls Love Paris” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Vern Burton Community Center, 308 E. Fourth St. in Port Angeles.
Entry to the show is $2 and includes one door prize ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased.
Proceeds from the door prize drawings will benefit the 2016 Peninsula Daily News’ “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund campaign.
Attendees who bring a nonperishable food item for donation to area food banks will get a free entry ticket for door prizes — dolls and accessories.
More than 40 vendors
More than 40 vendors from all over the state will offer dolls, doll furniture, doll clothing, tea sets, teddy bears and other accessories.
The show is sponsored by Just Dolls of Washington, a North Olympic Peninsula doll club.
Admission buys one free door prize ticket — more tickets can be purchased — and drawings are planned every half-hour for prizes ranging from dolls to accessories.
Antique dolls and bears will be displayed, and some may be available for sale.
Some of the antique dolls at the show may be up to 200 years old.
American Girl dolls
Anyone who brings in an American Girl Doll or similar 18-inch to 25-inch dolls can have its hair restyled by Diana Smith, a Sequim member of the club, for a $2 donation to the Peninsula Home Fund.
Lunch and beverages will be available for sale.
