The Hidden Valley Lake Craft Boutique Committee would like to thank HVLA Members, their guests, the many vendors and the general public who all helped to make this annual event successful and enjoyable for all again this year.

The boutique was held in the Greenview Room on Sunday, Dec. 6, and over $263 was collected from booth fees and personal donations. These funds will be used to help support the HVLA Fireworks Show held every year.

In addition to the boutique, many of those participating satisfied their food and beverage needs in the Greenview Restaurant and Mulligan’s Lounge to round out their day of gift shopping.

We would also like to thank Mike Zuech, HVLA food and beverage manager, and the restaurant staff for making the Greenview Room available and helping with the Boutique. Thanks also to the HVLA staff and Loralee Anderson for publishing this event in the HVLA View. Many thanks also to the Times Star, The Valley Magazine, the Record-Bee, the South County News, Lake County News and Connie Stufloten, events coordinator for HVL for all the wonderful advertising of our event. You all were great!

A special thank you to the Christmas craft boutique vendors who worked so hard: Joan Worster, Joan Poucher, Bette Fowler, Janet Gill, Twila Brammeir, Debbie Vivette, Sharon Hughes, Rose Marie Bero, Haejin Han, Gretchen McDonald, Carol Brossier, Lola Duensing, Rashelle Peter, Elizabeth Hoffman, Pam Gordon, Laurel Ryan and Pat Hallman. Their crafts were homemade, creative and displayed beautifully.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year and thanks again for coming!

Pat Hallman and Joan Worster are co-chairs of the HVL Christmas Craft Boutique.
