the first evaluation period
since students are just adjust

festival, are once again in
gear. This year the big event
is slated for Saturday, Dec. 3,

The artifactory, organized
each year by the American
Association of University
Women, serves several func
tions. It is a community
service which provides a
showplace and market for
county artists and craft per

for early Christmas shoppers
to buy unique handmade gifts.
Demonstrations are held
hourly at the Artifactory by
craft experts to initiate inter

of making special handcrafted
items. In the past demonstra
tors have shown how to make

recycle denim, how to dip
candles and work with stained
glass.
Refreshments, Santa Claus,
a used book sale and door
prizes are all Artifactory
features. This year one high
