I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas.
This event features over 50 local businesses, vendors, artisans and crafters with the goal of helping you check everyone off your gift giving list; while at the same time helping support our local community, protecting the environment, and saving you time and money! “You might purchase a tool caddy made from reclaimed fence wood or a handbag made from un-recyclable chip bags. Maybe you’d like to purchase an “experience” like a guided fishing tour or a gift certificate to a local restaurant. This event will have something for everyone on your list-even that person who seems to already “have everything.” The packaging will be minimal or non-existent and you know you’re supporting your neighbors and your community with your purchases.” One thing you’re sure NOT to find? “Cheap crap from China.”
New this year, Vancouver Green Drinks is partnering with Clark County Live! to bring you the “Discovery Booth” offering gift certificates for local experiences at discount pricing. And, while all the booths are filled at the Check ‘Em Off Green Holiday Event, if you are a local business you can still be a part of this event without even having to man a booth! The Discovery booth will help you stay at your business while someone else sells for you. For more information on the Discovery Booth, contact Mitch Canton at 360-818-4418 or contact us here.
After you’ve shopped, drop into the sustainable wrapping station and have your gifts wrapped while you enjoy a hot chocolate or a bite to eat. Then, just sit back and enjoy the time with family and friends this holiday season.
The Check ‘Em Off Green Holiday Event will be open from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, November 12, 2011 at the Marshall Community Center, 1009 E McLoughlin Blvd.
