Holiday Shoppe– Your Place for Great Gifts

Category:Events

Have you started shopping for gifts for the holiday season yet? Pottery, jewelry, paintings, and other items from local artists make wonderful presents, and you can purchase items like these from the Art Council’s annual Holiday Shoppe.

This year we are featuring a large number of local artists, including Eileen Butchkoski, Bill Crownover, Carolanne Currier, Gretchen Eichensehr, Holly Foy, Jeanne Peterson, Harlin Ritchey, Kari Roslund, Terri Smith (Barron Hill), Jack Troy, and Betty Walters. Items from the Redbud Quilt Guild also will be available.

The Holiday Shoppe opened on Wednesday, November 17, and will be open Wednesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Christmas week. (Note that we will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.) During Christmas week, we will be open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (December 20–22). We also will be open one day after Christmas, Monday December 27.

And remember: current Huntingdon County Arts Council members save 10% on purchases.

Location: The Playhouse at McConnellstown

The Holiday Shoppe is located at The Playhouse at McConnellstown. The address is 11680 Raystown Road, only a 10-minute drive from downtown Huntingdon.

When you purchase items from the Holiday Shoppe, you have the satisfaction of supporting local artists as well as your Arts Council. You will find that our offerings are not only of high quality but also reasonably priced. So don’t forget to include some local art in your holiday shopping this year. Santa would approve.

Holiday Shoppe Hours

The Holiday Shoppe will then be open on Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm.

The Holiday Shoppe supports both our local artists and the Huntingdon County Arts Council.

Mask are required.
