Gingerbread Fair at First Baptist Dec. 7

The First Baptist Church of Norwood will hold its annual Gingerbread Fair on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the church’s Parish Hall at 71 Bond St.

The ever popular Cookie Walk will be repeated this year. Shoppers can make their own selections from a delicious variety of home-baked cookies. 

Other features to be repeated this year, especially for children, will include Gingerbread House Decorating, where young artists (and adults) can create holiday masterpieces with the help of experienced confectioners and Santa’s Gift Shop, where children can select presents at bargain prices for family members and have them gift-wrapped by the Jolly Old Elf’s helpers.

There will also be the perennial favorites like hand-knitted and crocheted items and handmade wooden crafts; plants and wreaths; jewelry; collectibles; household and office items; toys; books, CDs, DVDs, and puzzles – plus a silent auction and raffles of restaurant and services gift certificates, as well as special gift items.  There will also be hourly drawings for door prizes.

 Arrive early and enjoy a breakfast of fresh-brewed coffee and a mouth-watering assortment of homemade breads and squares.  Or stop by for a lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, homemade soup, chips, soft drinks, and home-baked gingerbread with whipped cream – all available for on-site dining or “to go.”
