�We�re trying to get people to go all around the Point,� said Blue Heron Gallery owner Kitty Doyle. �Spend the day, shop and stay for lunch.�

On Saturday, November 29, local businesses and crafters will team up to deliver a hometown Christmas tour of the Point. From Whalen�s Cafe & Country Store on Bayview Drive on Maple Beach to the Blue Heron Gallery at the foot of Gulf Road, visitors can follow a string of Christmas crafts, unique gifts and good food.

The participants include Whalen�s, County Farm Garden, Sunflowers, Blue Heron Gallery and the Liberty Wine Store. Both Brewster�s Restaurant and the community center on Gulf Road will host local crafters and artists.

Shoppers can choose from a tempting array of floral arrangements, hand-made ornaments, jewelry, lavender products, antiques, baked goods, quilts and many more items.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Maps are available at any of the participating locations. Alternatively, participants can watch for signs to guide themselves around the Point from store to store.
