Scrooge Lives returns to MHCC to offer seasonal shopping
The Advocate
Those who enjoy buying or scoping out local art won’t have to travel to Saturday Market or Alberta Street after the Thanksgiving break as local artists will have a chance to sell their art on MHCC’s campus.
The annually celebrated Scrooge Lives festival is coming back to MHCC for the 40th time in campus history.
The locally run and sponsored event will showcase local artists from around the Portland area who will set up stands and sell their own handmade art and crafts. The event will take place in the College Center starting Wednesday, Dec. 2, and continue Thursday, Dec. 3.
The festival will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. Wednesday, and Thursday will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m..
Everything from organic soap to hand-woven baskets will be sold at this event. Vendors hail from all around the Portland area.
According to College Center employee Mary Burlingame, this event should be a special one as it is the 40th anniversary being held at Mt. Hood. “We really want this time around to be special as it is such a fun event and should be celebrated after 40 years so we’ve decided to have a live band performing while the event is taking place,” said Burlingame.
A live band consisting of community members from all ages will perform what Burlingame refers to as “The Mozart Multigenerational.” The band will be play every Mozart hit beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
“This is a great festival to attend and even pick up on some Christmas shopping here as the proceeds go directly to the vendors, which is a good way of supporting our community and economy,” Burlingame said.
