The Christmas Cabin will be open for business at 9 am through 6 pm on Thursday and Friday, the hours on Saturday are 9 am through 5 pm. Over the years, the Christmas Cabin Craft Guild has made annual donations to community services. Their goal is at least $1000 to their chosen charity. In 2009 they donated $1,500 to Hospice of the White Mountains. This donation was possible because of the good folks that live and visit the White Mountain area and so generously purchase raffle tickets. In July, the ladies will be out in costume at various locations between Show Low and Alpine selling raffle tickets for a lovely homemade quilt. They will be donating to Hospice again this year, as it touches so many lives. During the Christmas Cabin Craft show, the Lakeside Civic Center is filled with homemade crafts. You will find among many other things, crafts of wood, beads, painting, gourds, sewing, toys, dolls, furniture, and jewelry, just to name a few. It is a craft show like no other.
