Crafters of First Church are busy creating one-of-a-kind items for the Fair.  New items for this year include small hand painted bird houses, home sewn stuffed animals, handmade pop-up cards, knit hats and mittens for toddlers, a variety of grapevine, Styrofoam and green wreaths, angels, hand crocheted angel tree toppers, hand puppets, clay snowmen, and more.  Holiday staples such as decorated plates, Christmas ornaments, gold reindeer, sways, small trees, etc. will also be offered for sale.

The delectable and mouthwatering bake sale by lifelong bakers of the church, a large silent auction, the Cheese Man,  and a luncheon provided by the Weathervane Restaurant will also available.  The “New to You” room will expand for you to re-gift those Christmas presents  that are brand new, don’t fit into your décor, are too small, etc.  Too many decorations or other Christmas items?  Re-gift to the Fair (but no bigger than a bread box and Christmas items only, please)!

If you would like to donate a specialty handmade item for either the auction or craft tables, please contact  Jocelyn Henning, at 880-1839 or  jocelynsh@comcast.net, or Carolyn Mulrooney, at 888-3900.  We have many talented crafters in our church and your donations help to make the fair successful.  100% of the money raised goes to the Pastoral Aid Fund whose funds are given to individuals in emergency situations throughout the year in the greater Nashua community by Reverend Jim and Reverend Jeff.

Craft meetings are held every other Wednesday night.  If you are interested, call Carolyn for the date and time and for a list of basic supplies to bring.  We are looking for jewelry displays in good shape for necklaces and earrings, either on loan or to be donated.  Please call Jocelyn if you can help or have an idea.

Would you like to help us in November?  Help is needed with setting up and breaking down tables, selling craft items, baking specialty items (in addition to the bake sale), etc.  A heartfelt thanks to all the many, many volunteers who help make this fair successful!
