St John’s Episcopal Church in Walpole will hold its annual Christmas-on-the-Green Bazaar on Saturday, November 21, 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
St. John’s crafters have been busy all year creating beautiful handmade items that will be for sale at the Bazaar, including felted hats, slippers, and bags; knitted hats, scarves, and mittens; tea cozies and coasters; hand painted Santas and Christmas ornaments; and personalized glass Christmas ornaments. The Baked Goods Table will feature delicious homemade offerings of jams and preserves, pickles, pies, plum puddings, fudge, soup mixes, dog biscuits, holiday breads, and other gourmet holiday goodies. The famous Cookie Can Corner will have hundreds of delectable cookies for selecting to pack a “cookie can” –including a few gluten free varieties. The cookies sell out, so come early! Lavender sachets, dried flowers, live plants and beautiful decoupage birdhouses will be available at the Nature Place. Attractive, small gifts appropriate for use as holiday expressions of appreciation for teachers and party hosts, along with Christmas items, will be found at the Gifts to Go table.
The Tombola game of chance table will have wonderful prizes, including gift certificates to local businesses, new books, large plants and other surprises. All the proceeds of the raffle go to support the food programs of the Fall Mountain Food Shelf in Langdon, NH, and the food shelf at Our Place in Bellows Falls, VT. The St. John’s Café will be serving coffee, cider and donuts in the morning. A light lunch, featuring hot dogs and sandwiches, will be available from 11:00 – 1:00.
