LOWER LAKE – AnnDrewArt is hosting its second annual Italian Christmas Festival Dec. 12 and 13.

The free event will include a visit from Goomba Claus on Friday night, with musician Don Coffin providing the tunes. There will be a European market with craft vendors, hot mulled wine and cocoa.

Chef Tony will do a cooking demonstration at noon. Then at 2 p.m. you can learn to make a gift worthy of giving, even if you do not consider yourself to be “crafty.” Children’s workshops will be ongoing starting at noon.

Join them mid-afternoon to hear authentic Persian music from Hamed on the piano, have your photo taken with La Befana or Babbo Natale, take part in a cooking contest and the Italian version of “La Posada” to end this perfect day at 6 p.m.

Be sure and stop by Terrill Cellars and try out the new labels along with your old favorites.

AnnDrew Art at the Tuscan Village is located at 16175-B Main St., Lower Lake, telephone 995-5079 or 278-0312.
