The Kris Kringle Fair will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading, 239 Woburn St., Reading, MA. Sales will take place indoors as well as under the tent. Booths include Jewelry, Attic Treasures, Toys and Kids Books, Silent Auction, Potpourri (new items), Boutique (handmade items), Raffle, Live Music, Baked Goods, Country Store, Snack Bar and Puzzles.

Among this year’s Raffle items are a $200 Amazon gift card, $100 worth of lottery tickets, and a beautiful patchwork quilt designed and made by the UUCR Quilters. This year’s quilt is “Sending You Light.”
Come at 9 to enjoy fresh-baked scones from the Snack Bar while they last, or come at lunchtime to enjoy homemade vegan chili, hot dogs, and many other treats. All of the Snack Bar offerings are nut-free. The Kris Kringle Fair is the church’s biggest fellowship event and fundraiser of the year. When the fair comes around each fall, everyone at UUCR organizes, donates, bakes, cooks, sings, plays music, greets, staffs tables, or shops—working side by side to make this daylong fair a much-anticipated and enjoyed event for the church, for Reading, and for surrounding communities.
Church services and Religious Education classes are held in person on Sunday mornings at 10 am. Services are also broadcast on YouTube. All are welcome.

READING, MA &mdash; This Veterans Day season, SadieLadySecrets.com and Fuddruckers are joining forces for their annual Burgers for Benefits: Dine for a Cause fundraiser on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 4&ndash;7 PM at Fuddruckers in Reading, MA.
This heartfelt community event will benefit Marblehead Veterans Services, supporting efforts to provide Thanksgiving meals and assistance to homeless, hungry, and struggling veterans and their families during the holiday season.
<h3>Honoring Our Veterans and Their Families</h3>
Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is a time to honor the brave men and women who served our nation and the families who sacrificed alongside them.
Our veterans are our parents, grandparents, spouses, siblings, friends, and neighbors. They are the heroes in our everyday lives, whose courage and sacrifices have helped protect the freedoms we enjoy.
Yet for some veterans and their families, the holidays bring challenges rather than celebrations. No veteran should have to worry about where their next meal will come from, especially during Thanksgiving.
Through the support of Marblehead Veterans Services and the generosity of our community, this fundraiser aims to help bring comfort, hope, and Thanksgiving meals to those who have given so much.
<h3>A Children's Book That Teaches Gratitude and Giving Back</h3>
A special part of this fundraiser is Sadie Lady and A Thanksgiving to Remember, written by award-winning children's author Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette and illustrated by Justin Guillemette.
Featuring the beloved Beagle-Basset Hound Sadie Lady, this heartwarming story teaches children about gratitude, kindness, honoring our veterans, and the importance of helping others.
The book reminds families that Thanksgiving is about more than the food on our tables. It is about appreciating those we love, remembering those who served, and making a difference in the lives of others.
SadieLadySecrets.com will donate 20% of sales from this special book to support veterans in need.
<h3>Dine Out and Make a Difference!</h3>
Fuddruckers will also donate 20% of qualifying meal purchases during the fundraiser when guests present the event flyer to the cashier before ordering.
Event Details:
<ul><li>Date: Thursday, November 12, 2026</li><li>Time: 4&ndash;7 PM</li><li>Location: Fuddruckers, 1235 South Main Street, Reading, MA</li><li>Benefiting: Marblehead Veterans Services</li><li>Giving Back: 20% of qualifying meal purchases and 20% of featured book sales</li></ul>
<h3>This Veterans Day, Let's Turn Gratitude Into Action</h3>
As Thanksgiving approaches, let us remember the veterans who may no longer be sitting at our tables, those who returned home carrying unseen struggles, and the military families who have sacrificed so much.
Our veterans stood up for us. Now it's our turn to stand up for them.
Join SadieLadySecrets.com and Fuddruckers for an evening of community, compassion, and giving back. Together, we can help make Thanksgiving a little brighter for the heroes and families who deserve our gratitude every day.
SadieLadySecrets.com &mdash; Inspiring Families One Adventure at a Time.
