On Friday, Dec. 7, Taste of Ignacio decked the halls and the Ignacio Elementary School gym. Vendors, patrons and community members came to buy and sell local arts and crafts and enjoy hot chocolate provided by the Sky Ute Casino Resort and elk chili provided by the Carmelitas of the San Ignatius Catholic Church, and to sing songs and share in the Christmas spirit.
