VENTURA : Dudley House Open for Craft Boutiques
Ventura’s Dudley House will be decked in boughs of holly and pine and stuffed full of crafts, antiques and collectibles starting Friday for three weeks of fund-raising boutiques.
The Victorian Holiday Boutique will kick off with a preview party at 7 p.m. Friday, featuring live entertainment, refreshments and a first look at crafts made by local artisans, officials said. Tickets to the event are $10.
Admission to the boutique is free. It will open on three successive weekends, starting Saturday and Sunday, continuing Dec. 1 to 3 and concluding on Dec. 8 to 10.
Boutique hours are 11 a.m to 5 p.m.
Dudley House is located at North Ashwood Avenue and Loma Vista Road. The turn-of-the-century farmhouse is being restored to reflect the life of Ventura’s Dudley family during the period from 1895 to 1925.
A portion of the proceeds from the boutique will be used to finish restorations to the two-story home. Volunteers with San Buenaventura Heritage Inc. are nearing completion of the project and plan to open the home for tours and weddings in 1997.
For more information about the boutique, call 643-4217.
