Original jewelry fills this vendor's table
HUNTINGTON BEACH...It's hard to believe that the end of the year is fast approaching and its gift giving season again.
Members of the Starlite Club Chapter #250 of the Order of Eastern Star hosted an early rainy holiday boutique inside the Masonic Lodge on Saturday morning, October 13th. to help shoppers miss the mad rush in the stores. The rainy weather that rushed in Friday night and produced a light rain for the event Saturday morning.
Once inside the lodge, vendors used two of the lodge rooms to show off their giftware to those who came in from the rain.
Karen Meador was keeping busy throughout the event
Chairing this year's Starlite fundraiser was Karen Meador who was kept busy to make sure
all the vendors needs were taken care of. Members watch as she rushed about the hall, while outside the rain kept many locals away this year.
Gifts for sale inside were displayed for customers to see and buy for the upcoming holidays or just maybe for someone's special birthday. Jewelry and clothing were the special items comprised the majority of vendors.
Rows of tables filled with gifts galore
Hats off to you malady
