DECEMBER 14, 2017 // 9 MERRYMAKING MANIACS Carruthers Holiday Bazaar goes down Dec. 17 and 18 By LAURA CHERAU FOR COAST WEEKEND ’T is the season for bustling and grinch-ing, baking and wrapping and all manner of merrymaking. It’s a busy time of year. So when I see people doing “extra” in December, I’m amazed … more amazed if that person has at least one child — su- per-amazed if the task requires an organiza- tional feat. Misty Czillinger, a six-year Astoria resident, is organizing Carruthers Holiday Bazaar, held at the restaurant 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, and 3 to 9 p.m. Monday, Dec. 18. Live music will be provided by Daric Moore and his trio, as well as Joshua Es- terline’s dark acoustic rock from Southern Oregon known as “Acousta Noir.” Music starts 2 p.m. Sunday. The Carruthers bar will be open, and cocktails will be available for purchase both days. My first question for Czillinger: What on earth possessed her to organize a two- day holiday bazaar during the most nutso time of the year? “I’m a maniac,” she said. Dennis Thomas’ Elk six-pack You may know Czillinger if you’ve ever eaten at Astoria Coffee House & Bistro or shopped at Cargo. “These two chicks I know used to do little craft fairs in Portland out of their houses, and there’d be live music and a potluck and tables were cheap,” Czillinger remembered. These women’s efforts snowballed into “Crafty Wonderland,” a biannual arts-and-crafts fair at the Oregon Convention Center. Czillinger decided to organize the Car- ruthers bazaar, she said, because “I wanted to be inspired to make things.” Continued on Page 15 Sophia Anderson’s “Crow,” a sumi ink piece Official Rules: Who can enter?
