The trees were decorated, the music was playing, the kids were decorating cookies - Christmas was most definitely in the air at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts over the weekend, as the Burnaby Arts Council presented the 45th annual Deer Lake Craft Festival Nov. 18 through 20. Shoppers checked out handmade artisan wares and food stuffs, visitors listened to live entertainment, and kids had a chance to make reindeer hats and decorate Christmas cookies. Photographer Jennifer Gauthier stopped by to check out the fun on Sunday.
