Temps may be set to top out near 100° today, but the holiday shopping season is right around the corner. Always early to the Christmas party, the ladies of the Dallas-area Chi Omega Alumnae have announced the dates of their 2013 shopping extravaganza. Stylish elves, prepare to mark your calendars.     Now in its 36th year, the 2013 Chi Omega Christmas Market will take place November 20th – 23rd at Centennial Hall at Fair Park (3929 Grand Avenue, Dallas). Boasting 150-plus national vendors and attracting upwards of 10,000 shoppers, this anticipated annual event is known to be one of the premier markets of its kind in the region. Attendees can expect to find jewelry, home décor items, women’s fashion, toys, linens, and original art. What’s more, over the course of the four-day market, thousands of dollars will be raised for this year’s beneficiaries, including Chi Omega Education Corporation, Community Partners of Dallas, Foundation for the Education of Young Women, Healing Hands Ministries, Just Say YES, Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas, North Texas Food Bank, Sky Ranch, Suicide and Crisis Center of North Texas, and Chi Omega Collegiate Scholarships.   Ticket prices range from $12 advance purchase to $75 for a special preview party.
