Are you ready for Christmas?

With less than 45 days until Christmas, it’s time to get busy with gift buying and party planning. To shop for the finest holiday goods, art, crafts, greenery, candies and baked goods, visit the New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum’s first annual Yuletide Bazaar this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 12 and 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Local artisans and treat-makers will help make this a special event with a taste of Victorian flair you won’t want to miss.

The recipients of your special gifts will be thrilled that you did and a portion of the profits go to support our only Almaden museum.

The New Almaden Quicksilver Museum is located at 21350 Almaden Road, San Jose. Call (408) 323-1107 for information or directions.
