SAUGATUCK-DOUGLAS HISTORICAL SOCIETY
SETS HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP AT OLD SCHOOL HOUSE
 

NOVEMBER 12, 2010 -- The Saugatuck-Douglas Historical Society will open its Holiday Gift Shop during the Saugatuck-Douglas Holiday Preview on Saturday, November 20, and again on the first three Saturdays and Sundays in December, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Old School House, 130 Center Street in downtown Douglas.

The Holiday Shop's gift selection reflects pride in its community's heritage with such items as the Society's popular books on area history, framed prints of historical photos and maps from the Society's archives, commemorative art notecard sets and coffee mugs, plus the unique Saugatuck-Douglas afghan throw with woven-in images of local sites in both blue and multicolor formats. New items this year include Old School House coffee mugs and Society clothing. Colorful holiday gift-wrapping will be offered with some items.

Proceeds will benefit the Society's many volunteer-driven programs. Volunteers to help staff the shop are welcome; contact Jon Helmrich (857-3574 or jon@ibctv.info) for details.
