CRYSTAL LAKE \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Residents can buy jewelry, pottery and other original works from more than a dozen area artists Friday at an event to help benefit a local animal shelter.<\/p>\n
“They’re all one-of-a-kind things that you can’t find in a department store,” said Mary Telfer Holden, who helped to organize another Art to Wear benefit after its successful debut last year.<\/p>\n
Admission is free to the event, which lasts from 3 to 10 p.m. at Dole Mansion’s Lakeside Center, 401 Country Club Road, Crystal Lake. The show also will feature a coffee bar and the band This is This will play live music 8 to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
Holden said 20 artists from McHenry County and around Chicago will sell items ranging from felted handbags and scarves to decorative pottery and glassware. Part of the proceeds will benefit Pets in Need, a no-kill animal shelter.<\/p>\n
The show offers something to people of all ages, Holden said, and prices range from a few dollars for original notecards to several hundred dollars for fine jewelry.<\/p>\n
“It is really for a good cause,” Holden said. “It really helps the community.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
