Time for the Best Christmas Fair Ever!
St. Blaise Christmas Country Fair December 7th
St. Blaise Church is very excited and pleased to announce the Christmas Country Fair, on December 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Parish Hall at 1158 S. Main St., Bellingham. Several areas of the hall will be set as “store fronts” in the traditional New England country store layout with awnings decorating the entrances to the various sections of the store. There will be a variety of lovely items to purchase for your home or as gifts. Ready-to-make food items in Ball jars such as chili and soups (just add meat and water), cookies, and muffins are prettily packaged and ready for sale. Homemade cake pops, and Reindeer Chow will also be available. A unique Christmas gift that the kids can easily make for Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa is the Family Tree with Heart that is customized with their fingerprints. You can buy jams, soup or cookie mixes, Christmas decorations, Christmas wreath bows, soaps, crocheted afghans, pillows, religious items, or jewelry. Fair workers will be there to offer help if you need it, too. Bags filled with penny candy as well as other candy treats will be available in the candy store. Gingerbread Man kits can be purchased to decorate your own cookie for the holiday.
Our great kitchen volunteers will be on hand to serve delicious lunch choices like hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, dynamites, salad and other favorite foods and drinks. The cafe will be open from 10:30 a.m. -2 p.m. A great opportunity to refuel yourself while enjoying our Fair. A variety of breads, muffins, cookies, cakes, and pies from the St. Blaise Sweet Shoppe will be ready to enjoy as dessert at the Fair or packaged to take as gifts or dessert at home.
At the Craft table, there will be many handmade items, like key rings, bookmarks, tissue holders, religious items, afghans, Christmas or winter centerpieces that make wonderful gifts for friends, teachers, family or yourself!
There will be old favorites and new kids’ games, like Santa Putt-Putt, Reindeer Ring Toss, Snowman Knock Down, with prizes displayed in the Kids Zone and a table where kids can create their own Nativity scene to take home.
