‘Empty Bowls’ selling out; pickup set Feb. 17

A few dozen artistic creations still exist for purchase in the annual Empty Bowls Boerne event, set for Feb. 17 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First United Methodist Church Family Life Center, 205 James St. in Boerne.

Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort to raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger. More than 300 artists spent time handcrafting the bowls, designed by clay and wood artists.

Each $25 ticket grants the holder the opportunity to turn up at First United Methodist and select from the 300, which will be on display, ready to be swooped up and taken home.
