A club of crafters has been turning their talents to the support of the community for nearly half a century now.

The Snowflake Boutique is set to run Friday, November 5, 1 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, November 6, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the South Sisters Room at Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center.

The Snowflake Boutique is a nonprofit organization. What began as a few friends selling their crafts from their homes 46 years ago, in 1975, has evolved into a major Central Oregon event.

Each year, the club donates the post-expense proceeds to the Family Access Network (FAN) in Redmond. The show averages over 80 consigners each year. Their uniquely styled, handcrafted items are juried to assure that they are of high quality and are not duplicated.
