The annual Holiday Fair to benefit St. Mary’s Church will be held tomorrow (Nov. 7) at the American Legion Hall on Foundry Street.
“Basically it’s a church fair,” Gail St. Hilaire, the event’s chairwoman said. “It’s like a family affair. Everybody gets involved,”
The auction/fair has a long history. Ms. St. Hilaire has been heading the event for 11 years and, she said, “It was going on way before that.”
The fair will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes a silent auction table with items for everyone.
Features at the annual event include a country store with homemade pies, jellies, pickles, beans, and cheese and a penny table with a variety of hand crafted and new items.
There are craft and ornaments including jewelry, holiday decorations, knitted items, personalized ornaments, homemade baked goods, specialty baskets, and a white elephant table.
Specialty baskets for pets, movie enthusiasts, chocolate lovers, gardeners and others are also featured along with antiques, gently used items, books, toys and attic treasures at the White Elephant table.
Activities especially for children include games, crafts and a candy wheel.
Lunch will be served and includes homemade soups, sandwiches, hot dogs, chili, and assorted pies.
The fair-auction benefits St. Mary’s Catholic Church. The church structure is over 150 years old, Ms St. Hilaire said. The parish is, she added, the oldest continuously active Catholic Church in New Hampshire.
For information call (603) 742-8198.
