You knew that the Altadena Arts Coalition was planning to salvage last week's rained out Shop Hop, didn't you?

FIRST, the businesses involved are extending the qualification time for the Grand Raffle until December 24. During this time, visit the listed merchants, businesses, & restaurants to get a star affixed to your Shop Hop card to qualify for the Grand Raffle (no purchase or obligation required).  Many prizes have been generously donated by local business owners, with the grand prize being a new bicycle from Steve's Bike Shop.

SECOND, Webster's Fine Stationers will be hosting a Holiday Open House this Sat., Dec. 19, from 10 AM-6 PM  with coffee, treats, appetizers, and all kinds of goodies.  (it's also a good place to go to get your gifts shipped!)

THIRD, the vendors, merchants, and others who were rained out last week will set up shop in Galloway Alley from 10 AM-4 PM

and LAST (but not least), the Christmas Tree Lane Arts & Crafts Festival, also rained out last weekend, will be open for business in front of the Webster's stores.  All good reasons to come down Saturday afternoon!

UPDATE:  Altadena Junction's Lance Anderson tells us:
