Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Artisan Guild Holiday Boutique

Looking for fun and affordable holiday gifts for family, friends and teachers?

     Come and shop the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Artisan Guild’s Holiday Boutique, Nov. 9-10 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at CROYA, 400 Hastings Road, Lake Forest,to find fun and reasonably-priced gifts for everyone on your list.
     Fifty of our community’s most popular artists will be on hand to serve as your official holiday helpers, while your purchases help support valuable programs for our community’s youth! Artists will include favorite jewelers, toffee makers, painters, knitters, hat makers, and others.
Proceeds from all Artisan shows benefit local charities while also encouraging interest in the arts. Proceeds from the Holiday Boutique to benefit Mothers Trust Foundation, which provides emergency help to Lake County children. Mothers Trust receives requests from social service providers who identify children and families in crisis and desperate need. Mothers Trust helps in countless ways, paying for items that children would be forced to go without such as educational fees, school uniforms, clothing, sports fees, music lessons, and other expenses that no other agency or organization can provide. Since its founding in 1998, the Foundation has granted more than $1,200,000 to help over 15,000 children.
     CROYA will also benefit from hosting the show. Founded in 1980, the CROYA Student Union relies on local funding to provide teens with a safe place to gather with friends both after school and on weekends. CROYA’s supportive staff encourages kids to be their best and offers them opportunities to learn and grow through service projects and recreational activities.
