More than 30 local artists will be selling their work at a fall craft fair and Oktoberfest celebration hosted by the Pacific Beach Woman\u2019s Club (PBWC) on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hornblend Hall. “This is our fourth craft fair,” said Mary Lou Benzel, PBWC president. “Many artists are returning from previous years. They\u2019ll be selling ceramics, jewelry, silk scarves \u2026 and we\u2019ll have a few vendors from the Pacific Beach farmers market.” This will be the club\u2019s first craft fair to include a beer garden and other Oktoberfest-related elements. Mad Dogs Caf\u00e9 will be selling bratwursts, sauerkraut and pretzels, and the sound of German music will lend the event an air of authenticity. “Pacific Beach is a very diverse, close-knit community,” said Benzel. “Locals will appreciate the opportunity to spend time with others while helping to support charitable organizations.” PBWC members will host a bake sale and used-book sale, including entertainment books filled with local coupons. Event co-organizer and local artisan Kathy Rea helped Benzel solicit artist participation at the craft fair, especially those interested in selling their own creations. Serving as one of the club\u2019s major annual fundraisers, the craft fair will benefit local schools and nonprofits like Pacific Beach Middle School, Mission Bay High School, StandUp For Kids and the Young Women\u2019s Christian Association\u2019s Becky\u2019s House domestic violence program. A portion of profits will also be put toward the continued upkeep of Hornblend Hall, PBWC\u2019s 100-year-old clubhouse. With about 60 members ranging in age from 20 to 92, the PBWC was established in 1895. Hornblend Hall is located at 1721 Hornblend St. Additional event parking will be available behind the Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
