Today: T-minus-16 days!

Every year, the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts marks the season by inviting people in for an afternoon and evening of arts, crafts, entertainment, culture and food.

This year’s festivities are on today (Saturday, Dec. 9), running from 3 to 7 p.m. This year’s highlights include ice carving demonstrations, gingerbread decorating, wooden toy making, a formal Christmas Tea, performances by harpist Josephine Lee and a production of How Raven Stole the Sun, by 3 Crows Productions. Admission is free, but note that tickets must be purchased separately for the formal tea and How Raven Stole the Sun.

The Shadbolt Centre is at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. For details, see www.shadboltcentre.com or call 604-291-6864.
