Artists and crafters from the Quincy area invite everyone to a special holiday art boutique in Meadow Valley on Saturday, Dec. 8.
The inaugural event, called A Handmade Holiday, will be held 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 6626 Bucks Lake Road, the home of Wendy Deocampo, owner of Meadow Valley Botanicals.
Also featured will be Bobbie Linford, Elliptical Sunrise, Manifest Station Studio and Wilde Iris Art.
