Advertiser Staff

Shop, shop, shop until you ... well, you know how it goes. Shopping centers across the state are geared for the weekend-after-Thanksgiving spree, but there are nonmall options, too. In fact, it's another really big craft-fair weekend. These events are popular and/or huge:

  • Winter Craft Fair 2006, at the Hawaii Okinawa Center, Waipio Gentry. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow. Admission is free, but a $5 donation (to the center's capital campaign) will get you in at 8:30 a.m.

    There's shuttle service, too: Catch the bus from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at Mililani High School and Leeward Community College, or from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow at the high school and the Waipio Kaiser Clinic, and you get a free andagi. Bring nonperishable food donations for the Hawaii Foodbank and a free andagi is yours, too. 696-5400.

  • Mission Houses Museum Holiday Craft Fair. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and tomorrow. Admission is free. The Museum Shop will be open, too. 531-0481.
