11th Annual Holiday Craft Fair at UU Church

            The


Unitarian Universalist Church at 326 Main Street, Wakefield, will hold its


eleventh annual Holiday Craft Fair Friday evening, December 6, from 6 to 9 pm


and Saturday, December 7, from 9 am until 1 pm. 


In addition to all the first rate crafts, there will be plenty to eat


and drink, so bring the family and your appetites and do some holiday shopping


while supporting local crafters.  The


church is right across the street from the main post office.

            The Mistletoe


Marketplace will host jewelers, wood carvers, and makers of hand sewn


items,   holiday ornaments, herbal


remedies, body products, and inventive candy bouquets.  This year we will have a professional potter


on hand, and visitors may try their hand on a pottery wheel.  There will be a group of glass blowers from


the Diablo Glass Blowing Studio in Boston, and a Wakefield based bee keeper


will be selling her beeswax candles and lip balm.  Need a Pampered Chef or Tastefully Simple


product?  Representatives from both


companies will be there, too, along with Rada Knives. Our own craft table will


offer  catnip mice, hand knit mittens,


angel ornaments, and home made jams and baked goods will be available at the


bake table.

            Friday


evening, the UU Cafe will have a selection of delicious sandwiches and soups


for sale, as well as hot and cold beverages for all ages.  Saturday morning, we will be serving warm


muffins and hot drinks.  Don't forget to


enter to win one of several Mistletoe Marketplace Raffle Baskets, too.  Drawings will be after the fair closes


Saturday; winners will be called that afternoon. Shop locally, support local


artists and craftsmen, and avoid the madness at the malls. Admission is free.
