First Baptist Sets Date For Gingerbread Fair

From First Baptist Church of Norwood: The First Baptist Church of Norwood has set the date for the 2017 Gingerbread Fair for December 2nd. One of the big drawing cards is the Silent Auction. Many items have already been donated and the first item was from Patti Meyer of the Norwood Theatre. It is 4 tickets for December 3rd to The Country Jamboree at 7 PM. What a lovely way to start the Christmas Season. Many other items, including Joyce Byers famous Carolers will be available for bids.

New this year will be “The Mercantile” which will include some good old Country Store offerings. As always, the wonderful handcrafts will be available. These will include knitted goods, crocheted items, hand sewn creations and handmade wooden crafts. There will also be a fine selection of Christmas items for you or for gift giving.

As you think of all your Christmas finery, come peruse the Jewelry Table for items to match everything in your wardrobe.

Slightly used items are always a big hit. Everybody loves a good bargain.

Come early to make up your own Cookie Boxes made by very talented donors. This table sells off very early in the day. Children and adults may also make their very own real Gingerbread Houses to take home.

Keeping in mind the long winter months, come and choose from a large selection of books of all genres to keep you busy reading as you curl up in your favorite chair.

As always, plan to meet your friends at the lunch counter and sit and enjoy a leisurely lunch to kick off your Christmas shopping spree. We look forward to greeting you at this event.
