22 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Tolovana gift bazaar supports local artisans CANNON BEACH — Why shop online or brave the big box stores when you could shower your loved ones with locally made, one-of-a-kind gifts? Choosing the Tolovana Arts Colony’s second-an- nual Holiday Gift Bazaar is a no-brainer — a lively and meaningful antidote to cold, corporate consumerism. The bazaar kicks off with a party 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8, at Tolovana Hall (3779 S. Hemlock). Friday’s festive celebration features food, wintry drinks, music and more. There’s no better way to shop than with a full belly and in good company. The bazaar continues through the weekend, open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, and Sunday, Dec. 10. But remember: Some of these are one-of-a-kind items and many will be scooped up quick. COURTESY TOLOVANA ARTS COLONY Guests peruse items at the Tolovana Arts Colony’s 2016 Holiday Gift Bazaar. On display and available for purchase will be a stun- ning array of work from local artists and crafters, including jewelry, paintings, kitch- enware, baskets, sculpture, clothing, even homemade cleaning products. Surprises abound! In addition, gift-buying at the bazaar offers critical support to local artists and crafters. Your purchases are a big deal — especially at this time of year.

We get up everyday, do the things we do, go to bed, and do it all over again the next day and subse- quent days onward,” he continued. “But for some of us, in mid-August, we are welcomed home to a desert dreamscape, an alternative lifestyle, city, community and world.” The event’s name comes from its culminating act: the symbolic ritual burning of a large wooden effigy (“the Man”) that tradition- ally occurs on Saturday evening. “Burning Man fash- ion and Burner wear are optional for our Manzanita presentation,” Lindley said.
