All are welcome for the Parish of the Epiphany’s Christmas Fair on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 70 Church Street in Winchester. Browse through a variety of gifts and support this age-old tradition spanning three decades.
In addition to items created by parishioners at the knit and craft tables, works of art by parish artist John McConnell will be on display. Returning this year are gifts by Studio on the Common, mittens by Cashmere Resewn, jewelry by Mei Mei of Lexington, pottery by Christa Bennett, and jewelry by Linda Preston. Choose from costume jewelry and white elephant treasures of the past, among many other finds. Non-profits this year include Holy Nativity Convent (candles), Haiti Peace Quilts, the American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, Unite with Light, and Food for Fido. To entertain the kids, check out the Kids Store for a "kids only" holiday shopping experience (no adults allowed!) where children can purchase family gifts, some crafts and children’s books.
This year’s Silent Auction will have items such as tickets to sporting and cultural events plus festive baskets. There will also be homemade apple pies, lemon curd, jams and bread and butter pickles for sale, in addition to cookies, breads and treats for the holidays available at the bake table.
The knit and craft table will again feature 600 Epiphany hand sewn hearts and many wooden crafts as well as aprons, knitting needle cases and other holiday crafts. The cafe will offer a nice place to gather with family and friends.
Some of the proceeds will benefit local and global nonprofit organizations that the parish supports.
