Port Angeles Garden Club hosts holiday sale

PORT ANGELES — A harvest of handmade holiday decorations and baked goods will be offered at the Port Angeles Garden Club’s annual Holiday Sale on Saturday, Dec. 4.

The sale will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 301 E. Lopez Ave., Port Angeles. Admission is free.

For the week prior to the sale, the nearly 60 members of the club will be busy decorating wreaths and swags made with fresh evergreen boughs, making yule logs and centerpieces, and baking delectable delights to be sold along with holiday treasures of crafts and decorations.

“Everybody chips in,” said Audreen Williams, co-chairwoman of the sale.

“If they can’t physically make wreaths, then they send baked goods or send food for workers.”

The sale is one of two annual fundraisers for the club’s projects, which include scholarships, upkeep of Billie Loo’s Garden — which is on the waterfront to the left of the ferry terminal — plant baskets for the Clallam County Fair and garden therapy at Crestwood Convalescent Center, Williams said.

Typically, the sale raises between $2,500 and $3,000, Williams said, though the club was unable to conduct one last year.

The club’s other major fundraiser is a plant sale, which will be April 30.
