ANSWER: The best way to find such a gift is to have it custom made. Holiday craft fairs abound at this time of year, making it a great time to find an artisan able to make an ornament to your exact specifications. What could be more authentic than an ornament that, not only indicates that it’s from Lewiston, but is actually verifiably made in Lewiston? Check out the Sun Journal’s Community Calendar, at events.sunjournal.com/events, to see some of the upcoming craft fairs near you.
