Fairfax Craft Faire & Baking Contest this Saturday

Come to the popular Fairfax Craft Faire this Saturday, December 12, 11:00am until 5:00pm, at the Fairfax Pavilion, 142 Bolinas Road, Fairfax. This joyful event features sustainably-derived items from a wide variety of local artists and crafts people.

Enjoy the festive environment with live music, crafts for kids, a bake sale with tasty treats, and chili and macaroni and cheese from Good Earth Natural Foods. Warm up with an organic chai, or hot apple cider made special by the fabulous Key Tea.

Calling All Bakers! Enter your best baked goody in the second annual Baking Contest at the faire. Like last year, the contest will include two categories: 1) Cookies & Brownies and 2) Cupcakes & Cakes. Bring your contest entries to the bake sale at the kitchen inside the Pavilion by 10:45 am (all entries will be donations to our benefit bake sale). With each entry include 1) a list of ingredients, and 2) whether item is organic and/or vegan.

The baking contest will begin at noon featuring a panel of local judges including Mayor Renee Goddard, Taste Kitchen & Table owner Lorenzo Jones, musician Jack Irving, Aphro Cuisine owner Megan McCulloch, Marin Business Sanctuary founder Mar Oscategui, Biomimicry Executive Director Beth Rattner, and Debra Ruff, co-founder of the Point Reyes Bovine Bakery and founder of Debra’s Bakery in Inverness. Entries will be evaluated equally based on appearance, taste, and ingredients. Prizes from Taste Kitchen & Table will be awarded to the winner in each category.
