Shopping local takes on a nature-inspired twist in Ogden on Saturday, November 21, when the Ogden Nature Center hosts its Holiday Open House and Artisan Fair.

The event is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with free admission. Nature Center members can shop early from 8 to 9 a.m.

The fair takes place at the Ogden Nature Center, 966 West 12th Street, and features locally made gifts alongside merchandise from The Nest Gift Shop.

Visitors can browse pottery, artwork, clothing, jewelry, soaps, bird feeders, books, games and other nature-inspired items.

Participating makers include Erica Lyon Art, Bags by Cori, KH Pottery, Kirsten's Vintage Soaps and The Local Artisan Collective.

Families can join a children's make-and-take nature craft from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Complimentary gift wrapping and hot drinks are also planned. Scooter's Coffee is supporting the gathering with coffee, hot chocolate and a limited-edition sticker.

The Nature Center also advertises optional holiday photo sessions with resident birds of prey. These sessions require separate registration and payment, so they should not be confused with the free artisan fair.

For shoppers, the open house offers an opportunity to find distinctive gifts while supporting Ogden-area artists and small businesses.

The event also introduces visitors to the Nature Center's work in environmental education, wildlife care and habitat stewardship.
