Traction's annual holiday-ish party and fundraiser is co-sponsored this year by *The Independent* ... and features:

Fun craft sale on Sunday, December 10, at the Edison Johnson Rec Center on Murray Avenue. That's just down the street from the Museum of Life and Science. The hours are 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m., and there will be light refreshments served.

The crafters at the show will mainly come from the "Durham Craft Market":http://www.durhamcraftmarket.com, but there will also be a number of guest artists on hand, so it should really be an interesting show. There will be pottery, woodwork, jewelry, dolls, purses, candles, stained glass, and lots more.
